Kullu
Kullu is a town and district in Himachal Pradesh, India, in the valley of the Beas River. Formerly called Sultanpur, the town became the capital of the Kullu kingdom in the 17th century, when Raja Jagat Singh installed the image of Raghunath there, and it hosts the annual Kullu Dussehra festival. The valley passed to British rule in 1846 and is now known for tourism, apples and woollen shawls.
