why do you think the state of himachal pradesh has been given the name himachal
Himachal Pradesh ((ɦɪmaːtʃəl prəd̪eːʃ) (listen); literally "snow-laden province") is a state of India located in North India. Situated in the Western Himalayas, it is bordered by states of Jammu and Kashmir on the north, Punjab on the west, Haryana on the southwest, Uttarakhand on the southeast, and the Tibet Autonomous Region on the east. At its southernmost point, it also touches the state of Uttar Pradesh. The state's name was coined from the Sanskrit -- Him means' snow' and achal means' land' or' abode' -- by acharya Diwakar Datt Sharma, one of the state's eminent Sanskrit scholars.
