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. Meseums galore and so are the relegious places with the Golden temple offering succour to the mind and soul of any one visiting. If you are a wild life break, then punjab can take you a tour of the sancturies, which are hot favourites with migratory birds. Since this state borders Pakistan, there are two main posts from which ypu can peep into the land that was once an integral part of Punjab and experience the feelings of the People seperated by a line .

The much truncated India's portion of present Punjab is divided into three natural regions : the Majha , the Doaba and Malwa.

Malwa

The area south of the river sutluj is called Malwa. the name has stuck because aclan called molois ( sometimes written as malawis in ancient works )once ruled this area which must have spread upto the present state of Gujrat which was known as the subah of Malwa as as of mughal times. Malwa the largest part of Punjab is divided into the follwing 12 districts after the names of there headquaters.

Patiala : The old and new worlds go hand in hand in Patiala.

We were in the State of Punjab from October 26 to 29. The name Punjab means five waters and denotes the fact that the five tributaries of the Indus River run through the region. The Punjab is the home of the Sikh religion and a majority of the population is Sikh. The Sikhs do not shave or cut their hair and the men often wear turbans. The Punjab was divided during the Partition of India and Pakistan; many families were displaced and relocated. This allowed India to perform a lot of land reform in this State. The Punjab is probably the richest agricultural area in India. In the Punjab, we stayed at the Punjab Agricultural University in Ludhiana and traveled to Amritsar to see the Sikh Golden Temple and visited KVKs at Patiala and Kapurthala. We also visited farms near these KVKs
