The book, Birds of Uttarakhand, has nearly 500 bird illustrations, their qualities vary from artists to artists but most are good enough to help in identification of the species. Sometimes bird call is transcribed in word as the locals hear it.

During the four day-long Raja festival, it is believed that Bhudevi (Mother Earth) menstruates and prepares herself for future agricultural activities because of which all farming activities such as digging of soil and ploughing the field are suspended. Women, particularly unmarried girls, have a special place in this festival.

चार दिवसीय राजा परबा उत्सव के दौरान, यह माना जाता है कि भू-देवी (धरती माता) को मासिक धर्म आता है, और वह भविष्य की कृषि गतिविधियों के लिए खुद को तैयार करती हैं, जिसकी वजह से सभी कृषि गतिविधियां जैसे मिट्टी की खुदाई और खेत की जुताई बंद हो जाती हैं। इस पर्व में महिलाओं खास कर कुंवारी लड़कियों का अहम स्थान होता है।
