Explanation:

Pant was born in Kausani village, Almora District in what is now the state of Uttarakhand, into an educated middle-class Brahmin family. His mother died 6 after childbirth, and it appears he did not seek affection from his grandmother, father, or older brother, which later influenced his writing. His father served as the manager of a local tea garden, and was also a landholder, so Pant was never in want financially growing up. He grew up in the same village and always cherished a love for the beauty and flavor of rural India, which is evident in all his major works.
