Punjab is known for many things, chief among them are its cuisine, culture and history. Major tourist hot spots here include Amritsar, Ludhiana and Patiala. The state has great railway connectivity and a fast and reliable system of local buses enables you to travel and absorb the local flavor.\u00a0 Air connectivity is also good, with airports at Chandigarh and Amritsar.<\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that while Sikhism is the most common religion here, Punjab has been home to Hinduism and Islam as well. Photographers are in love with the battle sites, shrines and temples here but one of Punjab\u2019s biggest sources of tourism inflow is religious tourism.<\/p>\n

Sikhism was born here, and therefore religious tourism in Punjab is dominated by the presence of some of India\u2019s most beautiful Gurudwaras dedicated to the Sikh gurus. Resplendent with amazing architecture, incredible cleanliness and beauty, the Gurudwaras are a must-see in the state. Here are the ones you need to see:<\/p>\n
