Customs, Rites and Rituals of Uttaranchal
The customs, rites and other rituals practiced by the people of
Uttaranchal are essentially based on Hindu religion. These customs
are deep rooted and are strictly observed by people of all castes
i.e. Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudras. All customs and traditions
are influenced by their belief in spirits and superstitions, the
innumerable Hindu gods and goddesses.
Uttaranchalis follow distinct rites and rituals for all the auspicious
and sad moments of life right from the child birth to marriage to
death. Every moment of life has to undergo one ritual or the other.
