U'khandâlooking through religious texts to replace robes
Uttarakhand government is looking at ancient Hindu religious texts to find a replacement for the ceremonial robe for college graduation ceremonies. "[I]n the Skanda Purana, there is a mention of an acharyakulam (school based on Vedic education) in Uttarakhand. It would be interesting to know what ceremonial dresses were in fashion in those times," state minister Dhan Singh Rawat said.
