Good morning, Valke ji

Dudhupattar = दुधूपत्तर

दुधू= milk

पत्तर= leaf

This name is used in Mandi area only. I am trying to find its name in other parts of H.P. also.

I think, परवा

I am still trying to confirm from people from that area. Although HP is a small state, it has varied cultures and many dialects.

Ok, thank you very much Anil ji.

Until we get validation, I will go with परवा parva.

I agree, all mountainous regions have varied cultures and dialects. Few days back, I searched the internet to know about languages / dialects spoken in Himachal Pradesh; I found as many as 26 dialects, could be more. Listed are: Baghati, Barari, Chambeali, Kahluri, Kangri, Kinnauri, Kullvi, Lahauli, Mahasu Pahari, Mandeali, Sirmauri, Spiti ... may be few missed. And there are sub-dialects too !
