India’s most important agricultural state, Punjab is the homeland of the brave, large- hearted Sikhs with their colorful turbans and long beards. Vast, flat plains with lush green fields of wheat, mustard, beans and lentils, carefree, colorful, generous people with their lively folkdances and foot tapping music, their festivals and customs and the most delicious Punjabi food – all this makes the state a visitors delight. The Golden Temple at Amritsar is the holiest shrine of the Sikhs and definitely worth a visit.
