Punjab comes from the Persian words panj (five) and ab (river) and means &#8220;Land of the Five Rivers&#8221; an inland delta of five converging rivers. It was the name used for the lands to the east of the Indus River that are drained by its five tributaries (the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej). Culturally, the Punjab extends beyond this area to include parts of the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan, the foothills of the Himalayas, and the northern fringes of the Thar (Great Indian) Desert in Rajasthan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Geographically, Punjab is in northwestern India and has an area of 50,362 square kilometres (19,445\u00a0sq\u00a0mi). It extends from the latitudes 29.30\u00b0 North to 32.32\u00b0 North and longitudes 73.55\u00b0 East to 76.50\u00b0 East. It is bounded on the west by Pakistan, on the north by\u00a0Jammu and Kashmir, on the northeast by\u00a0Himachal Pradesh\u00a0and on the south by\u00a0Haryana\u00a0and\u00a0Rajasthan. Area of Punjab has been divided into three regions namely Majha, Malwa, Doaba. The holiest of\u00a0Sikh\u00a0shrines, the Sri\u00a0Harmandir Sahib\u00a0(or Golden Temple), is in the city of Amritsar and the city also houses the\u00a0SGPC, the top most Sikh religious body. Punjab is a culturally enriched state as it has many elements including\u00a0music\u00a0such as\u00a0bhangra, an extensive religious and non-religious\u00a0dance tradition and folk dance, Giddhha (women cultural event) a vast range of cuisine\u00a0which has become widely popular abroad, and a number of seasonal and harvest festivals such as\u00a0Lohri, Basant,\u00a0Vaisakhi\u00a0and Teeyan, all of which are celebrated in addition to the religious festivals of India.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab is derive their name from a geographical, historical, and cultural region located in the northwest of the Indian sub-continent which is \u201cPUNJAB\u201d.
