Jeyeshthang’ and ‘Kanishthang’ are the names given to which of the following?

 Upper House and Lower House of village khap of Malana 

Explanation: Malana village in Himachal Pradesh, famous for its premium quality hashish, has just become off-limits for tourists after its presiding deity Jamlu ‘ordered’ the closure of all guest houses and restaurants ‘to protect’ local culture and traditions. The deity’s diktat came on the heels of a meeting of the village’s own ’parliament’ which concluded that outsiders thronging their village were a threat to their culture. The ‘parliament’ comprises an upper house called Jayeshthang and a lower house called Kanishthang. Villagers invoked Jamlu after the ‘parliament’ met.
