The position of governor is largely ceremonial. The Chief Minister is the head of government and is vested with most of the executive powers. Currently Bhararisain is the summer[1][2][3] and Dehradun is the winter capital of Uttarakhand, and houses the Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) and the Secretariat in each capital. The Uttarakhand High Court, located in Nainital exercises jurisdiction over the whole state.[4]
