Tehri Garhwal District
Tehri Garhwal is one of the largest districts in the hill state of Uttarakhand, India. Its administrative headquarters is at New Tehri. Tehri Garhwal is surrounded by Rudraprayag District in the east, Dehradun District in the west, Uttarkashi District in the north, and Pauri Garhwal District in the south.
The name Tehri has been derived from ‘Trihari’, signifying a place that washes away the three types of sins - sins born out of Mansa, Vacha and Karmana or thought, word and deed, respectively. ‘Garh’ in Hindi means fort.

Modern developments Tehri Garhwal
In the 1960s Tehri Garhwal went much further east that it currently does.[4] In 1997 much of the eastern portion of Tehri Garhwal was detached and merged with portions of Pauri Garhwal district and Chamoli district to form Rudraprayag district.
