The Joshimath tehsil in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand will now be officially known by its ancient name, Jyotirmath. This change of name was announced by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami during a program held in Ghat, a town in Chamoli district, last year. The renaming of Joshimath to Jyotirmath is a move that aims to honour the historical and cultural heritage of the region, reflecting its ancient roots.
