Which Samas is Himalaya?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
Himalaya is Tatpurusha Samas (specifically a type called Saptami Tatpurusha).
"Himalaya" combines "hima" (snow) + "alaya" (abode/dwelling). It means "the abode of snow" or "where snow dwells." The second word (alaya) is dominant, and there's a locative relationship between the components.
