Travel & Music || Enchanting Himachal and its Charming Songs

For the past few years, I have taken to Himachali music. I first got introduced to it during my wedding, when a constant background music of women singing Himachali wedding songs, made the simple ceremony even more beautiful. Since then, I have been introduced to several Himachali songs that I have come to love. And this also gives me a great advantage - when I sing these in family gatherings, VJ's side of the family is unfailingly impressed by a non-Himachali knowing so many Himachali songs :-P.

We walked a little but that exposed me to treasure which seemed to be endless and I wish I had spent more time on the streets of Udaipur town of Rajasthan .
