Foot Note:

1     When Swami Vivekananda visited Almora in the summer of 1897, he was the guest of Lala Badri Sah for about two and a half months. During this period the Swami primarily stayed at Badri Sah's house in the bazaar and occa­sionally retreated to the garden‑house of the Sahs at Devaldhar, about twenty miles north of Almora. In Hindi, the word Bagicha means "garden".
