dc.description.abstract	The Devasthal Observatory, located at about 2450 m height above sea level in the central Himalayas, operates a 1.3-m optical tele- scope, commissioned in the year 2010 and building another 3.6-m optical telescope to be ready by 2013. Both of these are general purpose tele- scopes, providing spectral and seeing-limited imaging capabilities at op- tical and near infrared wavebands. The current status of these telescopes along with the planned back-end instrumentation are described.	en_US
