Uttarakhand celebrates its Foundation Day on November 9. The state was formed in 2000 after separating from Uttar Pradesh. It became India’s 27th state, with Dehradun as its capital.

Known as ‘Devbhoomi’, the state attracts pilgrims to Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri.

The Foundation Day, however, marks an important occasion to celebrate Uttarakhand’s distinct identity, cultural legacy, and development journey.
