When the great Kuruksetra battle was over and Pandavas went to heaven via Uttarakhand, Himalaya, Parikshit the son of Abhimanyu took over the Kuru rule. Parikshit was thirty five –six years old at the time of getting crowned.
Dr Dabral suggests that it seemed that Uttarakhand (Kulinda kingdoms) was under Parikshit. The Takshak Nag killed Parikshit.
Janmajey was the elder son of Parikshit. Janmajey was child when his father died. Janmajey killed millions of Nag (snakes0 for taking revenge of his father killing by Takshak Nag. However, Takshak was protected from Janmajey.
Janmajey performed Ashwamedh Yagy (winning other kingdoms). According to Shatpath Brahman (13/5/4/1-3) and Arthshastra (3/5/2), Janmajey travelled Himalayas.
According to Kedarkhans (61/85-86), Janmajey listened the story of Mahabharata from Vyasa at Badrikashram , Uttarakhand.
After the death of Janmajey, the Kuru kingdom started declining. This was also time, that the rule of Kuru dynasty ended in Uttarakhand.
