The Punjabi spirit of enterprise and business savvy is best exemplified by the city of Ludhiana which is renowned the world over for its hosiery goods.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Ludhiana every household is a mini hosiery unit and everybody seems to be involved in some way or the other in this lucrative business. From Moscow to Montreal, shopping malls retail both cotton and woollen products from Ludhiana. However, Ludhiana's claim to fame is not its commercial enterprises alone. It is an important pilgrimage center as there are many historic Gurdwaras.
The city of Ludhiana is dotted with places of tourist interest. The fort lies to the northwest of the city of Ludhiana. The main attraction of the fort is the shrine of Pir-i-Dastgir, also known as Abdul Kadir Galani. It draws both Hindu and Muslim pilgrims.
Ludhiana offers some excellent spots for daylong excursions. In the village Machhiwara about 35 km from Ludhiana, is the Gurudwara Charan Kanwal named after the Guru's feet that are compared to the lotus flower. When Aurangzeb's army attacked the fortress of Chamkaur Sahib, Guru Gobind Singh successfully resisted their onslaught and slipped away into the forests of Machhiwara. The Mughal forces got wind of his whereabouts and Guru Gobind was saved by two of his Muslim devotees who disguised him as their Muslim prophet. The place where the Guru rested is where the Gurudwara stands today.
Every year, the Punjab Agricultural University organizes a Kisan Mela in Ludhiana. At the festival, new techniques of farming are shown to the farmers. New hybrid quality seeds of food grains are displayed and sold.
