Highest Mountain in India[edit]

Isn't Kanchenjunga the highest mountain in India ??? Dabean 23:51, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qp10qp (talk • contribs)

Yes. I have corrected the article. That sentence was based on the Peakware page which states its the highest, which is of course, incorrect. I blindly accepted it as fact, given the usual high reliability of facts from that site. RedWolf 20:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and major overhaul[edit]

I did the proposed merge from Nanda Devi East, and while I was at it I did a major overhaul of the article. Comments welcome. -- Spireguy 21:40, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About the Highest peak of India[edit]

Nanda Devi is the Highest peak in India that is located within geographical boundaries,not touching any other country.Comments please on this addition.Tribhuwan 14:29, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Definitely a worthwhile addition; I tightened it up a bit. -- Spireguy 19:19, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:INDIA Banner/Uttarakhand workgroup Addition[edit]

Note: {{WP India}} Project Banner with Uttarakhand workgroup parameters was added to this article talk page because the article falls under Category:Uttarakhand or its subcategories. Should you feel this addition is inappropriate , please undo my changes and update/remove the relavent categories to the article -- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 13:49, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Local Myth and Folklore[edit]

There are several mentions of "local myth and folklore" (ie "...name means Bliss-Giving Goddess..."; "...regarded as the patron-goddess of..."; "...twin peaks of the goddess Nanda..."; "...sacred status as the daughter of the Himalaya..."). It will be good if these can be attested through references (and further elaborated) - otherwise they should be removed as "unsupported".--The Lesser Merlin (talk) 10:41, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I cited the "Bliss-Giving Goddess". -- Spireguy (talk) 19:41, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It says "regarded as the patron-goddess of the Uttarakhand Himalaya" Regarded by whom? And who says so? It further says "the daughter of the Himalaya in Indian myth and folklore" Which myths? Whose folklore (there are many different folklores in India)? And who says so anyway? And so on (I don't want to list them all, but see my earlier comment). This article remains littered with assertions (many of which could be of real significance) that are not sourced. The Lesser Merlin (talk) 13:30, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinate error[edit]

{{geodata-check}}

The coordinates need the following fixes:

The current Wikipedia location coordinates for Nanda Devi do not point to that mountain. The correct location is 30.375663, 79.970849 (+30° 22' 32.39", +79° 58' 15.06"). Can someone fix this please? I don't know how to.

Done, but could you please supply a source for the above? Are they really known to 1/100" precision? Viewfinder (talk) 21:32, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nanda Devi[edit]

Surely, Everest is the highest in India, with K2 the second highest! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nugent1234 (talk • contribs) 11:41, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Everest is split between Tibet and Nepal. No where near India. Check a map. 12.186.227.68 (talk) 04:25, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
