Kullu: In a significant cultural milestone for the Valley of Gods, noted writer and artist Raj Sargam has released his ambitious book “Kulluvi Dictionary,” a first-of-its-kind effort aimed at preserving and promoting the region’s native language.
The book was formally launched by Award of Excellence winner and Director of Baragarh Resort & Spa (IHCL SeleQtions), Nakul Khullar, who lauded the initiative as a meaningful step towards safeguarding the rich cultural heritage of Kullu.
He emphasized that taking Kulluvi language and traditions to the masses is crucial to keeping the region’s identity alive.
