हम कौन हैंWho we are
नामा means a chronicle. This one is Himachal's.
HimachalNama is a chronicle of Himachal Pradesh. It keeps two kinds of record side by side: the stories this state's villages have told for centuries, and the news that is shaping it right now.
So a devta's tradition, a haunted stretch of road and a decision taken in Shimla all belong here. They are the same place, seen from different sides.
You will see the name written as HimachalNama, Himachalnama or Himachal Nama, and in Hindi as हिमाचलनामा. They are all us. This site is the one official address, and every channel we run is listed on it.
