Abstract
To understand history from the sources justifies the volume of authenticity involved in knowing the past of any region. Chamba, which is one of the twelve districts of the present Himachal Pradesh, lies in the western Himalayan region. It has a shrouded past till 7-8th centuries but inscriptions come to help the scholars to understand the history of Chamba. Presently when this region is being observed from several corners, the present paper takes into consideration the inscriptions from 8-12th centuries, to create a basic understanding of the region. This paper is helpful not only in creating a past between 8-12th centuries Chamba but provides a bare idea of the state, polity and society as well.
