PATIALA
CITY
Hy, guys today I telling about my favorite
city Patiala where Patiala, the land of Maharajas and a
royal city is widely known for its ‘pagri’, ‘dresses’, ‘peg’, ‘Jutti’, , Reshmi
naale, ‘Patiala sahi salwar’, folk songs, dances like Gidha and Bhangra and
food like ‘Makki de roti’ and ‘Saraason da saag’ in its traditions and culture.
Patiala formerly known as ‘Ala De Patti’ because Baba Ala Singh was the founder
of this place. In 1763 Baba Ala Singh laid the foundation of “Quila Mubarak and
the city is built around it. Patiala, an erstwhile princely state and a
district headquarters of Punjab are situated in the Malwa region of Punjab.
Patiala
is relatively a young city, a few years more than two centuries old. It
was His Highness “Maharaja Bhupindra” Singh (1900-1930) who had
given Patiala a prominent place in political map of India and, in the field of
international sports. Most of the buildings with splendid architectural designs
were constructed during his reign.
The first
settlers of Patiala were the Hindus of Sirhind, who opened their business
establishments outside the Darshani Gate. The lower caste got settled on the
peripheral areas of the Patiala city now known as Chur Majris. As in all the
medieval towns, there were separate localities of dancing
girls. Dharampura Bazar was one such in Patiala, which was frequented by
the ruling elite. After the partition of India in 1947, a large number of
refugees from west Punjab came and settled in Patiala district.
Narendra
Singh (1845-1862) fortified the city of Patiala by constructing ten gates
around the city. The royal house is now headed by Sukhbir Singh Badal and
Prakash Singh Badal who also served as Minister of Patiala from 2007 to 2012.
Also they are still considered as cultural and political icons in Patiala. The
complete district of Patiala is sub-divided into 5 sub-divisions/tehsils with
total of 942 villages. It consists of 8 blocks
Samana, Patran, Nabha, Rajpura and Patiala.
