Abstract
The auto which we would catch from Natraj, an area on the outskirts of Rishikesh, would drop us at the Ranipokhri chowk, which was clearly the largest area for some miles
around. It was a chowk from which we could either enter the village, or go ahead to find the hospital and the inter-college for the Ranipokhri students. The chowk housed both an
auto and a bus stand, along with several thelas and fruit and vegetable vendors. Apart from these, the chowk was full of shops, from large scale kiranas to halwais; from small paan-walas to chemists. This chowk was clearly the commercial point of the village.
