Music, Dance and Cuisine of Punjab
Posted on Sep 08, 2009 under Travel | No CommentPunjab, Hindi, is a Sikh State in the northwestern part of India and has a population close to 25 million people. The capital of Punjab is Chandigarh, which, interestingly enough is also the capital of the neighboring state of Haryana. Manufacturing of various goods accounts for a large percentage of the financial economy here, as does tourism. However, agriculture is the largest economic factor, with Punjab supplying the vast majority of wheat to the whole of India. Other crops grown are fruits, vegetables, sugar cane, cotton and rice. Punjab has the lowest poverty rate and also the lowest level of hunger.
Tourism is growing rapidly and is a definite economic consideration for Punjab. For those tourists especially interested in learning more about the spiritual and cultural history and the Sikh architecture of the temples and shrines, this is ideal. Punjab is rich with history and exquisite with design. Also coming to the forefront is the music of this area. Bhangra is one musical art form that has become exceedingly popular, as is the classical music. Both forms have produced award-winning compositions. Another area of popularity, which might not be thought of, is poetry. The tone of the spoken language here lends itself to the beauty and flow of poetry.
Punjab hotels are a source of pleasure for both body and mind. Visually one will enjoy the design and décor and the very senses aroused by the vibrant colors and effects. Physically, you will enjoy the relaxation and pampering you will receive. The staff is pleasant and helpful, the accommodations splendid, your comfort their goal. The restaurants, whether in the hotels or within the cities offer fabulous cuisine that is known throughout the country and in some cases throughout the world. Visit Punjab, experience the culture, learn from the people, embrace the differences and relish the growth of your inner being.
