An imaginary portrait of mountainous region that bears close similarity to Himalayan foothills of 1860's.

Pichal Peri or Churail or Churel (Urdu:meaning, with reversed feet) is a sort of legendary witch or monster type creature in Central Asian and South Asian folklore.

It is supposed to be very dark, ugly and scary. It is also supposed to attack and kill human beings, to eat their livers. Some people say they have seen this creature, and it has long hair and long teeth and feet that are reversed (with heel in front and toes turned back).

However, there is no real proof this creature really exists.
