    The origin of the Gaddi Tribe is unclear and they also additionally believe that their ancestors fled

    from plains because of lack of security or foreign Invasions. The fact regarding their origination
    lies within the popular myths in the state. There is no accord of the views from where Gaddis
    migrated to this hilly state. The Gaddi nomenclature springs from the word "Gaderan", the native
    word for the hilly tracts of Himachal Pradesh. Gaddis, a Scheduled Tribe of Himachal Pradesh,
    are found principally focused in Bharmauri of Chamba district, an area popularly called ‘Gaderan’
    which means ‘the home of the Gaddis’. Bharmour is additionally known as the abode of Gaddis.

    individual forming an exogamous union of Brahmin, Rajputs, Khatris and other castes whose

    derived from a Sanskrit word "Gabdika" (गब्दिक) an Ancient Tribal Republic Mentioned in Paninis
    Ashtadhyayi where present day Gaddis are inhabited.Some views are commonly held among
    these folks like Kailash is the throne (gadi) of the Lord Shiva. Therefore,those people who took
    refuge and settled in Brahmaur also came to be referred as Gaddis.

    culture, expressed through language, dress, food, marriage, song, and devout celebrations.

    used by the old people of the community. Other people spoke Hindi, whereas Devanagari is used
    as a script Caste system prevalent in gaddi community. Some are Gaddi Rajputand some are

    (kelang), gugga and awtars. Nuala celebrated by this community in which they chanted the
    aincheliya whole night and offer sheep to lord Shiva and dance whole night. They are one of
