August 1, 2023

PM highlighted that the business of ‘bhojpatra calligraphy’ by the women of Mana village near Badrinath, has taken off, helping them improve the economy of the region.
- Mana Village is regarded as the last village before the India-China border in Chamoli district, Uttarakhand.
Found at a height of 3,000m or above, bhojpatra (Himalayan Birch) is a tree whose bark acts as paper on which text can be written.
Since ancient times, our scriptures and books have been preserved on these bhojpatras.
- Mahabharata was also written on the bhojpatra.
