WHY PUNJAB?
1)Punjab Because of Bollywood..from Rang De Basanti to DDLJ to Jab we met to Mausam to Rab ne Bana di jodi,we have punjab everywhere.
2)Punjab because of people.
3)Punjab because of cuisine.
WHAT DOES PUNJAB MEAN?
Punjab is a persian word which apparently if split into half means:
Panj: Five
Aab:Water
The reason why we call the state " Punjab" punjab is because of the 5 rivers that goes through it.
Punjab is land of five rivers in North West India and North East Pakistan.
WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT PUNJAB?
1)The world famous Golden Temple:
Sri Harmandir Sahib, also known as Sri Darbar Sahib or Golden Temple, (on account of its scenic beauty and golden coating for English speaking world), is named after Hari(God) the temple of God.
The Sikhs all over the world, daily wish to pay visit to Sri Amritsar and to pay obeisance at Sri Harmandir Sahib in their Ardas.
2)The Wagah border:
Wagah is the only road border crossing between Pakistan and India, and lies on the Grand Trunk Road between the cities of Amritsar, Punjab, India and Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.
Wagah itself is a village through which the controversial Radcliffe Line was drawn. The village was divided by independence in 1947. Today, the eastern half of the village remains in the Republic of India while the western half is in Pakistan.
Everyday of the year, just before sunset, a flag lowering ceremony takes place at the Wagah Border between India and Pakistan.
3)Rock Garden,Chandigarh:
A rock garden is a type of garden that features extensive use of rocks or stones, along with plants native to rocky or alpine environments.
