Abstract: Garhwal Himalaya has some of the sublimest and most beautiful mountain scenery, dedicated to Hindu Gods.

The crisis is clear. Unless the “cultural property-hungry” nations realize that controls against such illicit activities must be enforced stringently, the safety of mankind's cultural heritage is in doubt.
