Garhwali People
The Garhwali people are an Indian ethnolinguistic group native to the Garhwal, in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, who speak Garhwali, an Indo-Aryan language.

Prior to Mayal, the name of the area and its people was unknown. However, some historians like "Atkinson" have alluded to ‘''Khas-des''’ (Land of the Khasas), and "Sircar" has stated that ‘''Str ...
