Haryana, a vibrant state in northern India, is nestled between the states of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. Known for its rich cultural heritage and historical significance, it offers a glimpse into the captivating tapestry of Indian history. One cannot mention Haryana without acknowledging its close ties with Punjab. These two states share not only geographical proximity but also a deep-rooted connection through language, traditions, and customs. The bustling city of Chandigarh serves as the capital for both Haryana and Punjab, showcasing their harmonious coexistence. Delving into the past, we come across intriguing glimpses captured by artists like Mortimer L Menpes in 1903. His artwork portrays a retainer from Jind adorned in traditional attire, reflecting the regal charm that once graced this region. The Fraser Album takes us further back to 1815/16 when four recruits donning white dhotis were immortalized on paper by Company School artists. This snapshot provides an insight into the military culture prevalent during that era. Moving forward in time to early 20th century Ambala, we encounter images depicting life at Victoria Hotel - a testament to colonial influence on architecture and lifestyle. An orderly stands tall nearby; his presence symbolizing discipline amidst the evolving landscape of Ambala. Journeying deeper into Haryana's history brings us face-to-face with Lt. Smith & Beaters embarking on a tiger hunt in Budhapur during 1922. This thrilling escapade showcases bravery intertwined with nature's wild beauty. Shifting our focus to modern-day Haryana reveals Banarsi Dass flour mill standing proudly as an emblem of industrial progress while honoring age-old techniques passed down through generations. It represents how tradition seamlessly merges with innovation in this dynamic state. No visit to Haryana would be complete without exploring Nek Chands Rock Garden in Chandigarh – an awe-inspiring creation where sculptures emerge from stones, breathing life into the surroundings.
