## Answers

### Answer by Harshal Vispute

The **project is a documentation of traditional institutions such as temples, monasteries, Bon chos, antiquities, forts, and old dialects of diverse ethnic groups** in the **trans-Himalayan area of Himachal Pradesh**, particularly **Kinnaur**. \
The volume uses field investigations to shed light on the inhabitants of **Kinnaur's socioeconomic** and **cultural lives**, including a study of their customs and architectural legacy. It describes the indigenous deities (**'Shu'** on rathang or the **Shu Republic**) who rule and run the ethnic communities' administration, as well as the development administration and democratic set-up, from **Panchayats** upwards. \
It is based on actual field research of the public activities of the Shu Republic in **15 deshang** or villages of Kinnaur, as well as the **U-Khyang** and **Dhang-U-Khyang**, i.e. In some deshang, there is a flower festival and a **Dakhrain** festival.. It describes numerous architectural patterns of native residential buildings and provides more than a glance into their administrative set-up, customary rules, and customs with regard to the deshang \
The book underlines the importance of taking the proper conservation steps to protect Kinnaur's cultural legacy. Scholars and students interested in the study of India's cultural heritage will find it useful. \
**P.S. Negi Loktus, IAS (retd), is a Himachal Pradesh** native who grew up in the **Trans-Himalayan District of Kinnaur**. He served as **Principal Secretary to the [Government](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/93513/what-are-the-new-guidelines-by-the-indian-government-for-digital-media-and-ott-media) of Himachal Pradesh** in areas such as **Culture and Language** and **Education during his time in the lAS**. **\** **She is the author of a book that was released in 2015.**
