Punjab, located in the North West of India is one of the Smallest and the
most Prosperous States of India.
The five River Sutlej, Beas, Ravi,
Chenab and Jhelum gave it its name 'Punj+aab' or the 'Land of five Rivers'.
These five Rivers divide the state into three Refions: Majha, Doaba and Malwa.
Punjab is primarily an agricultural state and enjoys the Natural Benefits of Fertile Soils and Abundant Waters.
As a Civilization,it is one of the most Ancient in the World with a distinguished Culture.
Enriched with a distinct Blend of Rural and Urban Flavors, Punjab has a lot to offer to a Tourist Eye. It has a unique Religious legacy with a host of Gurudwaras, the largest and the most prominent being The Golden Temple at Amritsar.
The Dome of the Temple covered with pure Gold presents a Fascinating Sight as its Reflection falls in the Holy Waters of the Sarovar. Other Gurudwaras worth visiting are Sri Anandpur Sahib (the birthplace of Khalsa), Damdama Sahib and Goindwal Sahib.
Jallianwala Bagh of Amritsar is another Historical Spot where a number of people jumped into a well to escape the firing of a British General.The place reminds one of the horrors of the British rule and Punjab's sacrifice to the struggle for Freedom of India.
