Punjab is a state in the north-western part of India, and was created in 1947 when the partition of India split the province between India and Pakistan. Tourism is expanding swiftly in Punjab due to its epic history, celebrated culture and world renowned examples of Sikh architecture displayed in the various shrines and temples found throughout the city. Due to this boom in tourism, many luxury Punjab hotels have set up residence in the city, including the luxurious Taj Hotel Group, and offer the visitor a stay in complete comfort and elegance, whilst they explore the many treasures of the city.
The word "Punjab" is a combination of the Persian words for five, and Water, giving the literal meaning of the "Land of Five Rivers". The five rivers after which Punjab is named are the Beas, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi and Sutlej. Due to this great river system traversing the city, Punjab is a rich agricultural area, despite being an alluvial plain with dry conditions abounding. Climate in the region is diverse with temperatures reaching a scorching hot 47 degrees in the summer, and a shiveringly cold -5 degrees in the winter.
Chandigarh is the capital city of Punjab as well as the Hindu speaking state of Haryana, which was formally part of Punjab as well. However, the capital city itself is classified as a Union Territory and is not under the jurisdiction of either Punjab or Haryana, but is administered by the central government of India.
