About Chamba

Chamba, nestled in Himachal Pradesh’s district of the same name, houses 20,312 residents according to the 2001 census. Situated 1,006 metres above sea level along the Ravi River, it merges with the Sal River. The region traces back to Kolian tribes in 2nd century BC, ruled by the Maru dynasty from 500 AD in Bharmour, later moving the capital to Chamba in 920 AD as per Raja Sahil Varman’s daughter, Champavati. The dynasty, spanning 67 rulers, governed until merging with India in April 1948, previously under British suzerainty from 1846.

History

Chamba’s history intertwines with its district, tracing back to Kolian tribes. From the 2nd century BC, Khasas and Audumbaras held sway, followed by Thakurs and Ranas during the Gupta era. The 7th century ushered in the Gurjara-Pratiharas or Rajput dynasty. Maru, an esteemed figure, established the capital in Brahmapura (later Bharmaur) around 500 AD. For three centuries, the Rajput Dynasty reigned from Bharmour, situated 75 kilometers east of present-day Chamba, marking an era steeped in history and heritage.

Demography

As of the 2001 India census, Chamba housed 20,312 people, with males at 52% and females at 48%. Its literacy rate stood at 81%, surpassing the national average of 59.5%, with male literacy at 85% and female at 77%. Hindi serves as the administrative language, while Chambeali is spoken locally. Post-1947 partition, some Punjabi and Pashto speakers settled, primarily of Sikh and Hindu descent. Tribal groups like the Gujjars and Gaddis reside outside urban areas. The Gujjars, nomads of Islamic heritage, migrated from Kashmir and journey to lowland Punjab in autumn to escape Chamba’s severe winters, maintaining distinct language and culture.

Geography

Chamba serves as the administrative center for the Chamba district, flanked by Kishtwar and Doda districts in Jammu and Kashmir to the northwest, and Ladakh, Lahaul and Bara Banghal to the northeast and east, respectively. It shares boundaries with Kangra to the southeast and Pathankot district of Punjab to the south. Nestled at an average elevation of 1,006 meters (3,301 ft), Chamba boasts a strategic location amidst these diverse regions, offering a unique blend of landscapes and cultures within the northern Indian terrain.

Administration

Chamba district witnessed 67 rulers since the establishment of the Bharmour Principality in the 6th century, starting with Raja Maru. Remarkably, the Chamba kingdom stood independently for over 1000 years—an anomaly in Indian history. Initially fragmented under Ranas, it lacked defined borders. Raja Sahila Varman unified and structured Chamba, subduing the Ranas’ autonomy. Under his reign, Chamba was officially consolidated into a cohesive entity. The capital’s rajas divided the kingdom into five mandalas or wazarats: Chamba, Bharmour, Bhatti, Churah, and Pangi, solidifying administrative subdivisions within the Chamba Kingdom.
