Than (ठाँ) is a small village near the Kandi-Saroot Road, around from Kandi Dholran in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.〔(Kandi Dholran, Wikimapia )〕 The village has a small population but the name "Than" is given to a large and hill-covered geographical region. At present this village is counted among the backward villages of the country. The reason behind this is that the village has not yet been provided with the basic medical facilities or roads. At present the village is around 1.2 km away from the road. To reach the road involves a walk of 1.3 km on a very narrow (2 to 3 feet wide) way up to the road. Steps are now being taken towards constructing a road to link the village to the Kandi-Saroot road. As of 2011 census of India, the population of the village is 280.〔(Census of Himachal Pradesh: Hamirpur district ) (Than village census code: 016708)〕 More than 50% of the village population belongs to Scheduled Castes. There is a tradition of service in the Indian Army. Around 30% of the villagers are in the Army, 20% work in the private and IT sector, and the rest carry out labor on a daily basis. Points of attraction in the village include: 1) Garh Mata mandir: Garh mata is an ancient temple constructed at a place called "Garh". The temple was constructed and maintained by the Raja, who used to have his Mahal there. The ruins of the Mahal walls can still be seen there. 2) The greenery of the natural vegetation during the rainy season. 3) Abundant natural resources. Normal viral fevers and typical diseases such as headache and body aches are uncommon in this area due to rich natural cures and fresh air environment. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Than, Kandi Dholran」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
