Baina is a small village in the Almora district of Uttarakhand in Bhikiyasain tehsil. The village belongs to Baina-II Gram Panchayat and is a rural settlement of Bhikiyasain.
The 2011 Census shows that Baina's population was 127 with 36 households. There were 75 females and 52 males recorded. The area of the village is approximately 63.88 ha or 0.64 km².
Baina is a part of the many small villages which comprise the rural area of the district of Almora. The village is populated by relatively small numbers and is thus closely linked with nearby settlements in relation to several daily activities.
Baina is not a bustling market town, but rather a small hill village. The location of the village is approximately 5 kilometres away from Bhikiyasain, an important nearby centre of people in the surrounding rural areas.
In a village of this size, there are naturally important communities that are close by for education, healthcare and markets, transport and other services. This linkage to other places is a characteristic of rural life in the hills and is also seen in other areas where facilities are not present in all settlements, but may be found in a local centre in several villages.
Few recent documents exist to make definite statements about Baina's current professions. Agriculture forms part of the wider economic life of the region, but particular crops, livestock production, or employment should only be included if it is possible to confirm this in Baina.
Baina is in Bhikiyasain tehsil of Almora district. The village is part of Baina-II Gram Panchayat. It has the Census village code of 051786 and the village records have the PIN code of 263667.
The closest major local administrative centre is Bhikiyasain and the village is roughly 5 kilometres away from the Bhikiyasain tehsil headquarters. The headquarters of Almora district is much further.
The geographical area of Baina is about 63.88 hectares (recorded).
The settlement has a relatively small area and population, which imparts a compact quality to its rural character. The village is now part of the extensive settlement of Bhikiyasain, not a self-contained urban area.
On the last page, I wouldn't make this section too full of generalities about views of the Himalayas, forests, or mountain scenery. The descriptions might sound appealing, but without being specifically written for Baina, they are of little value.
A more effective draft would incorporate details on the village's actual topography (including elevation, land use, proximity to streams, forests/agricultural areas) once confirmed.
Baina is one of the numerous villages in the Bhikiyasain area. Small villages that are near can be particularly useful if you want to understand the local geography, as the people they live near will be useful in your day-to-day life.
After that, if Chalopahad has individual pages for villages surrounding Baina, the latter page can have a direct link to those. This will help to establish a convenient local network for readers to jump between villages, without having to go back to the district page.
Its small population is one of its distinguishing features. In 2011, there were 36 households and 127 residents in the area, indicative of the size of settlements that exist in many rural areas of Almora.
The fact that it is located near Bhikiyasain is also significant. It is also near the local administrative centre, so that they rely on it for services but also maintain their identity as a distinct rural settlement.
The statistics provide a basic description of Baina, but are not a complete description of the place. The details that would make the page much more personal would be the history of the settlement, the local families, traditional farming practices, festivals, food, temples and changes in village life.
Those parts should be created with input from residents or local, reliable records. It would also provide Baina with something which a standard Census directory would not give him.

Uttarakhand is not simply another country. People here name it Devbhoomi (देवभूमि), the Land of the Gods. And it feels that way. Rivers begin right here. Old temples sit on mountain tops. Morning day...
