Punjab, the chief wheat producing area of the country, is the overland entry point into India. The state is also known for its production of sports and hosiery goods.
The holiest shrine for the Sikhs is the Golden Temple in Amritsar, so called because the dome is covered with gold leaf.
Home of the fiercly proud
and independent sikhs, the state of Punjab is steeped in histroy and culture
of India.
For centuries, the sikh warriors have provided the fighting force for armies
of the great kings of India,
British Raj and now the people of United India.
Through sheer hard work, the
men and women of Punjab have turned this into one the greenest states in India.
Universally famous for their deligence, they have done much to contribute to
the welfare of India.
The land of Punjab is a land
of exciting culture, myriad images of swaying emerald green fields and
hearty people whose robust rustic ways of camaraderie and bonhomie are very
much a part of their heritage.
The state has achieved tremendous growth over the years due to the success of
the Green Revolution in the early 70s.
For a major period in the second half of the 20th century, Punjab led the other states in India to achieve self-sufficiency in crop production.
The other major reason for the prosperity of the state are
the great number of people who left their home for the countries in Europe and
North America and, after long struggles, achieved successes there.
Punjab, the land of five rivers and integrated cultural history, is a treasure trove for an avid tourist. For this land of the great gurus not only boasts of ancient monuments but throbs with historical embodiments.
It is no secret that whoever comes to this land of yellow fields with blue mountains providing the romantic and picturesque backdrop has never gone back without imbibing the essence of Punjab.
There is no dearth of breathtaking palaces, for Punjab was the seat of royalty, as the imposing Quila Mubarak will tell you.
Museums galore and so are the religious places with the Golden Temple offering succour to the mind and soul of any one visiting.
If you are a wild life freak, then Punjab can take you on a tour of the sanctuaries, which are hot favourites with migratory birds.
