Nanda Devi (7816m)

Nanda Devi is the second tallest mountain in India (Kanchenjunga is the tallest) and its name means Bliss-Giving Goddess. The peak is regarded as the patron-goddess of the Uttarakhand Himalaya, currently in Uttaranchal state.
Nanda Devi stands guarded by a barrier ring of the highest mountains in the Indian Himalayas, 12 of which exceed 6,400 m (21,000 ft) in height, further elevating its sacred status as the daughter of the Himalaya in local myth and folklore.
