The present work is a collection of karchhags, a kind of document prepared at the moment of celebration of a ceremony held in honour of a certain important person deceased in some wealthy household, which records the salient facts of the occasion. They are as important as any other historical document because they record the name of the prominent historical figure of the time in the area and are closely dateable. They cover uniformly the three valleys consisting of the four cultures of Lahul for the period starting from the sixteenth century continuously to the end of the British period.
