The name of my small village is Dadhogi. It is situated in the lap of small mountains. Officially it comes in Arki tehsil of Solan district of Himachal Pradesh (India). The village is covered under Shalaghat post office. The neighbored villages are Myawan & Pyotha. It takes around 15 minutes on foot to Mywan about 30 minutes to Pyotha.

It is a beautiful village. It has four temples. Two main temples in the middle of village are more popular. Among these two temples one is of God Shiva and the other is of goddess Kali. The villagers believe extremely in many local devtas and devis (gods and goddesses). There is a ceremony functioned in every half year in respect of the local gods and goddesses. This function called "Badhera" is held on the occasion of new crop arriving in households of village. This tradition is generally followed in all villages of the area.

People are very religious here. The people live with great harmony and with peace. People get united at the time of any type of emergency or calamity whether personal of natural. In modern age compared to cities, people still believe in rites and rituals and perform them very sincerely and devotionally. Any function in the village is celebrated very warmly and happily.

There are about thirty (40) households. And the population my village is about one hundred and sixty five(165). The main occupation of my villagers' is service, may be government of private. Agriculture is the side profession of the villagers. Most of women of my village are housewives. They do household chores, cattle keeping and farming work. They also help the men in the agriculture work. The land of my village is not so much fertile that family can totally survive on it. Further its important to state that the entire agriculture production is depended on the rain water so is why people are mostly depend on service sector. There is no source of irrigation which can help in agriculture. Being a hilly area agriculture farms are very small and farming is done with the help of bullocks.

Presently the literacy rate of my village is about 95%. We have a government run middle school at the village. The main highway road (Shimla Mandi National Highway) is about two kilometer away from the village. The way from village to highway is very up warding and difficult. It takes normally 30 minutes to reach the highway and get the bus. The market (Arki) is 7 kilometers away from the village and it takes 1 hour to reach the market on foot. But we are thankful for Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, which have reached our village recently. Its around fiver kilometers long starting from Shalaghat, covering many village in the way.

Some people of my village work at Shimla, the capital of my state. There is no problem of electricity at present but supply of adequate water to every household is still a problem. However, government is in process to solve it.

The people of my village are very hardworking and sincere to the village. They take care about the development of the village and dedicate their time money towards it. It is the result of hard work and honesty of the villagers that it is linked by the road and a middle school has been started here.

The description of my village may go on and on but I am concluding this here with the wishes that my village may achieve more and more prosperity, live with happiness and keep the good trends & traditions on.
