### 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 **[Panchayat](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/72337/which-indian-state-established-panchayati-raj-in-1959-for-the-first-time-in-history-of-india)** 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 \
