Shimla |
| |
In the days before
independence, Shimla was the most important British hill
station, and in the summer season became the summer
capital. The British in 1819A.D first discovered Shimla,
but it was not until 1822 A.D that the first permanent
house was erected and not until many years later that
Shimla became the summer capital. The name Shimla is
derived from the Himalayan Goddess Shamla a synonym of
Kali.
