Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha today released a book titled ‘Mountain Goddesses: Finding Feminine Power from an Unexpected Place’, written by Smt Manu Khajuria Singh.

The Lieutenant Governor congratulated the author and wished her success in the future literary endeavours.

'Mountain Goddesses' follows the author, through her discovery of the deep-rooted feminine power within her motherland in Jammu.

Smt Manu Khajuria Singh is a freelance writer and commentator from Jammu Kashmir. A native of Jammu region, her focus is the region’s history, culture and current issues. After moving to the United Kingdom and seeing the younger generation become influenced by contemporary female icons, the author was inspired to document the vast yet lesser-known female-centric stories from her homeland. These empowering tales offer alternative indigenous role models and an illuminating perspective on femininity.
