The major city in
Punjab are ,Amritsar , Jalandhar, Chandigarh, Ludhiana and
Patiala,Dancing to the tune of DHOL are
youth of punjab performing the folk
dance.The Bhangra celebrates the harvest and is associated
with the festival of Baisakhi (April 13) when the sight of tall heaps of
golden wheat fill the farmer’s heart with joy. To the accompaniment of
large drums called dhols, he and his fellow villagers circle round and
round in a leaping, laughing caper. It’s a dance that cuts across all
divisions of class and education. At marriages, parties, or celebrations
of any sort, it is quite common for men to break out in Bhangra. There are
few sights more cheering than that of a dignified elder in three-piece
suit getting up to join the young fellows for a moment of bhangra
revelry. |

Ludhiana
has very hot summers and very cold winters. The monsoon visits this city
around July and extends up to the beginning of September. Winters
generally set in around November, when it becomes very cold during the
night. But the city produces and exports hosiery and woolen products. If
you can stand neither extreme heat nor cold, the best time to visit
Ludhiana is from February to mid April. Thus, cotton clothing is apt for
summers and woolens are required for winters.
