Khatyari

Khatyari[1] is a village located near Almora town. Almora was the capital of Kumaon Kingdom and it is believed that the wariers of Kumaon kingdom resided there, since the capital town during those days needed to be protected round the clock. The shrine of Goddess Nanda was built and the heaviest stone was placed on top, by the people of Khatyari. The Mugal invaders weren't able to concur the Kumaon Kingdom since it was heavily guarded by the warriors. In the present day the village is a part of the urban area of Almora where descendants of the Kumaon warriers still live.
