Punjab leads by example. A hearty and robust attitude to life and work has dulled the pains of Partition. Green fields, fields ripe with corn, tractors busy with work; Punjab presents a pretty picture of a prosperous farm life. The Punjabis' work ethic is indistinguishable from his religion. He brings to his work the passion of a devotee and worships his gurus with the energy he ploughs his fields. The most distinctive Punjabis are the Sikhs with their martial identity.
While in Punjab, head for Amritsar and the Golden Temple, which is the most revered temple for the Sikhs. Other noteworthy stops are the Durhiana Temple, a Hindu shrine with features resembling the Golden Temple's; the Rambagh Gardens, a prince's summer palace now a museum; and Jallianwala Bagh, a national monument honouring the martyrs of India's freedom movement. Patiala has several attractions worth a look. Visit the Moti Bagh Palace with its mirror-studded Shesh Mahal and fine collection of miniature paintings.
Punjab witnessed heavy destruction and damage during Partition, yet, it is one of the most affluent states in the country, today. The per - capita income of the state is nearly twice the all - India average. The mainstay of Punjab's economy, and the source of its affluence is agriculture. Nearly 84 percent of the total geographical area of the state is under cultivation. |
