The Malani is an
ethnic community inhabiting a remote village generally called as Republic of Malana,
located in Parvati valley

communities. Since ages, these people have been utilizing their ambient plant
resources for food, fodder, fibre, medicine, fuel, and other purposes. During
ethnobotanical surveys conducted in 2000-2002 among the Malanis and other inhabitants of Parvati valley, first hand
information on 35 plant species was recorded.
