Parashar Rishi

Good Afternoon

Parashara was a Rigvedic Maharishi, and the author of many ancient Indian texts. He is regarded to have been lived around 3100 BCE, although some estimate him as low as 1500 BCE. He is accredited for being the author of the first Purana: Vishnu Purana (before his Son Veda Vyasa wrote it in its present form). He was the grandson of Vashista, the son of Śakti Maharṣi, and the father of Veda Vyasa. There are several texts which give reference to 

Parashara as an author/speaker. Modern scholars believe that there were many individuals who used this name throughout time whereas others assert that the same Parashara taught these various texts and the time of writing them varied. The actual sage himself never wrote the texts, he was known as a traveling teacher, and the various texts attributed to him are given in reference to Parashara being the speaker to his student. He is the third member of the Ṛṣi Paramparā of the Advaita Guru Paramparā.

Good Afternoon

Palampur – McLeod Ganj

This place is highly risky during monsoon seasons as the region of mountains is in the edge of danger to travel in heavy rains. Apart from monsoon season, one can view utmost scenic beauty of these regions specifically in McLeod Ganj and Dharamshala which came to limelight after Richard Gere, Madonna and others had been traced out for working towards the Tibetan Cause.

Tribal Regions

This lies on National Highway 21 which initiates from Shimla and then passes through Peo-Kaza-Tabo-Losaar and opens up in Kunzum La and reaches up to back of Rohtang Pass. The total area is literally dry. When there is heavy monsoon season, the mountain area around Recong Peo is admirable and after that region attains its usual posture. One can adventure this road after receiving proper Inner Line Permit from Recong Peo which is same for Indians and also for foreigners. One can travel on this road right from the month of May and may try even up to month of September.

Most beautiful Hill Stations In Himachal Pradesh

Good Afternoon

Shimla

Shimla can be visited at any time round the year. Even rainy season is enjoyable as jungles are perfumed with pine trees. But if one wants to enjoy winter season in Shimla, then they need to book everything in advance by October to November and can make their travel after 25th of December when heavy snowfall begins.

Manali

Summer arrives when the heat burns in several parts of north India and this is the best time when all people run towards a shelter in Himachal Pradesh. No one can find difficulty in finding an accommodation as there are numerous hotels in Manali. Summer season will be hot especially during the months of April to July which is followed by slump in monsoon. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO VISIT MANALI DURING MONSOON SEASON. The roads are highly unpredictable during rainy season and every year quite a good number of roads are regularly washed away with high tides of Beas. So, strictly avoid visiting this place during rainy season. One can start their journey again in mid of August to late October when they can witness a newly born Manali. During this time, the city is thronged by huge crowd from all parts of the world. Winter season starts very late in Manali and snowfall starts late in December and it can be witnessed up to late February. One can have hands on experience on skiing in January and February at Solang valley which is a well known Ski point.

Good Afternoon

Himachal Pradesh is a state in Northern India. It is spread over 21,495 sq mi (55,670 km2), and is bordered by Jammu and Kashmir on the north, Punjab on the west and south-west, Haryana and Uttarakhand on the south-east and by the Tibet Autonomous Region on the east.

Himachal Pradesh is famous for its abundant natural beauty. After the war between Nepal and Britain, also known as the Anglo-Gorkha War (1814–1816), the British colonial government came into power. In 1950 Himachal was declared a union territory, but after the State of Himachal Pradesh Act 1971, Himachal emerged as the 18th state of the Republic of India. Hima means snow in Sanskrit, and the literal meaning of the state's name is In the lap of Himalayas. It was named by Acharya Diwakar Datt Sharma, one of the great Sanskrit scholars of Himachal Pradesh.

The economy of Himachal Pradesh is currently the third fastest growing economy in India.Himachal Pradesh has been ranked fourth in the list of the highest per capita incomes of Indian states. The abundance of perennial rivers enables Himachal to sell hydroelectricity to other states such as Delhi, Punjab and Rajasthan. The economy of the state is highly dependent on three sources: hydroelectric power, tourism and agriculture.

Himachal Pradesh is the least urbanized state in India with nearly 90% of population living in rural area, but the Shimla district is comparatively urbanized with nearly 25% population living in an urban area. According to a 2005 Transparency International survey, Himachal Pradesh is ranked the second-least corrupt state in the country after Kerala.
