Punjab

Punjab literally means the �land of five rivers�. This state is a fertile land stretching from the foot hills of the Himalayas to a semi arid region to its south-east. It is mostly an agricultural land and its people are known for their boisterous celebrations, colourful festivals, vibrant costumes, vigorous dances and never say die spirit. The Union Territory of Chandigarh serves as the capital. Besides Chandigarh, Amritsar and Ludhiana are cities with airports while the former two cities have railway services connected to major cities in the country. Driving into Punjab is the perhaps the best option as the national and state highways are well maintained and enroute are plenty of service stations, dhabas and highway motels or restaurants.
The famous Golden Temple Gurudwara is the main pilgrimage site for the Sikh community. Situated in Amritsar, it is thronged by thousands of devotees every day. The well planned modern city of Chandigarh has a unique rock garden, Rose garden, Sukhna Lake and many more. Places of historical interest include the fort of Razia Sultan in Bhatinda, the temples, gurudwaras and mosques at Faridkot, palaces in Patiala, Jallianwala Bagh at Amritsar, the samadhi of Shahid Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev in Ferozepur and Flag lowering ceremony at Wagah Border. Punjab experiences hot and dry summers and a cold sometimes freezing winter. The best time to visit the state would be during October to March.

अमृतसर – रामतीरथ – श्री गुरुरामदास प्रकाश पर्व – घर वापसी

By Sushant Singhal

सीढ़ियां उतर कर उस सूखे सरोवर को पगडंडी के रास्ते पार करके मैं सामने वाली उस बस्ती में पहुंचा तो लगने लगा कि किसी दूसरी ही दुनिया में पहुंच गया हूं। यह कहना ज्यादा सही लगता है कि वह सरोवर एक टाइम मशीन था, जिसमें प्रवेश किया तो कलयुग था पर जब उस पार जाकर मशीन से बाहर निकला तो त्रेतायुग में आ गया था। सीता मैया की झोंपड़ी जिसमें वह रहती थीं, रसोई जिसमें वह खाना बनाया करती होंगी, वह सरोवर जिसमें स्नान-ध्यान चलता होगा, वह कुआं जो सीता मैया के लिये उनके अनन्य सेवक हनुमान जी ने खोद कर दिया था, सब कुछ ऐसा लग रहा था कि बस! शब्दों में व्यक्त कर पाना मेरे लिये कठिन हो रहा है। पराकाष्ठा यह है कि सीता मैया की रसोई के पास सरोवर की सीढ़ी पर एक झुमका पड़ा दिखाई दिया तो मन में एकदम ख्याल आया कि शायद ये झुमका उस समय से यहीं पड़ा हुआ है जब रावण द्वारा हरण कर लेने के बाद वह आकाश मार्ग से लंका ले जाये जाते समय रास्ते में यह सोच कर अपने आभूषण गिरा रही थीं कि शायद इनको देख कर किसी को उनका अता-पता मिल सके ।

FRENZIED TRIP to AMRITSAR (One day trip)

By Wanderlust_Diva

As usual workload and situations did not allow me the time to explore a new place. But as it is said when the time is right on the day of Janmashtami my friend asked me if I would be interested to go on one day trip to Amritsar with another friend of hers?

आस्था और सुन्दरता का संगम – स्वर्ण मंदिर अमृतसर

By Sanjeev Joshi

आप को बता दू की अगर बॉर्डर देखने का मन हो तो सुबह या 12/1 बजे तक भीड़ बढ़ने से पहले हो आये ताकि इत्मीनान से देख सके और हो सकता है पाकिस्तानी रेंजर आपको चाय पानी पूछ ले…साधारण दिनों में बॉर्डर पे आपसी भाईचारा और मित्रता का माहौल रहता है दोनों और के सैनिको के मध्य..बातचीत हंसी मजाक..चलता रहता है.
