A—ii Parliamentary Constituencies 8. Governor Bx Governors 8. Himalayas are the greatest of all mountain systems which extend approximately to 2, kms. The mountains of Peninsular India such as the Aravallis, the VSatpuras, the Vindhyas and the Nilgiris are over 1, million years old. The Himalayas are one of the youngest among the mountain systems in India. These are believed to be only 40 million years old. It took about 50 to 70 million years for this landmass to rise and to form the highest mountain system in the world.
The Himalayas in Hindu tradition are much more than a majestic moun» tain range that extends in a 2,»km curve across South Asia. Hindus revere it not just for being a home to rare sanative herbs, nor even as a haven for excit- ing winter sports.
So they referred to the Himalayas as devatma or God» souled. Gin—raj or the "King of Mountains", as the Himalayas is often called, is also a deity by itself in the Hindu pantheon. Hindus View the Himalayas as supremely sacred, as a corollary to seeing god in every atom of the universe. The mighty altitude of the Himalayas is a constant remembrance to the lotti- ness of the human soul, its vastness. Even Mount Olympus in Greek mythology would pale in front of the reverence shown to the Himalayas in the Hindu mythology.
Many geologists have offered their views regarding the origin of the Himalayas.
