History 

Dehradun is the only city in India that has both the sacred rivers Ganga and the Yamuna
on either side of the town. The rivers have a long history in Hinduism. They
are part of all the epics and are considered very sacred. Dehradun is the
birthplace of the great warrior Ashwathama and his illustrious father,
Dronacharya. He was the guru of both the Kuru
princes, Pandavas, and Kauravas of the immortal epic Mahabharata.

The rock edicts which date back to 250 B.C. in Kalsi village is of the greatest
ruler of the world, emperor Ashoka. The mandates are inscriptions from stone
1-14 about his reign. He never allowed any living bird or animal to be killed
or eaten in his vast rule. No non-vegetarian was allowed, such was his peaceful
and ethical rule.
