Haryana
The
small state of Haryana,
spread over an area
of over 44,000 square
kilometers, was founded
in 1966 when the former
state of Punjab was
divided into Haryana
and the modern Punjab.
It is both the oldest
and most modern of places.
Most of tourists who
come to India pass through
Haryana, the state that
surrounds Delhi on three
sides, the capital of
the country, and whose
highways lead to Agra,
Rajasthan, and Himachal
Pradesh. |
Tourist Attractions
in Haryana |
| Just around
the corner from south
Delhi, a mere eight-kilometre
drive away lies Surajkund
with its large sun pool
and amphitheatre. Built
during the 10th century
AD by Raja Suraj Pal of
the Tomar dynasty, Surajkund
combines proximity to
the national capital with
many amenities and comforts
in an ambience that is
typically rural and far
away from the trappings
of the urban centres.

Golf Course in
Haryana |
| The first
golf green was set up
in Faridabad, Haryana
in 1966, with the building
designed by the famous
architect named Joseph
Allan Stein. However,
since it suffered from
lack of patronage, it
was handed over to Haryana
Tourism in 1988 and reintroduced
as the Aravali Golf Course.
The Course design was
then laid by Stephen Kay,
the famous Golf architect
from the U.S.A. Today,
it is 18-hole golf course.

History of Haryana
|
| The Treatise
written by Manu, the lawgiver
in Indian mythology, designated
Haryana as Brahmavart
from where the Brahmanical
religion and social system
grew up and spread outwards
to the rest of the country.
In a sense, therefore,
one can say that much
of the Hindu religion
and society was formed
on the flat, dry plains
of the present-day Haryana. |

Cuisines
of Haryana |
| Haryanvi cuisine is
like the people of Haryana-simple,
robust and inextricably
linked to the land. In
Haryana, the accent is
on food that is wholesome,
fresh and prepared with
little or no fuss at all.
Food always evolves out
of a certain cultural
context. The simpler the
culture or civilization,
so too the cuisine which
is uncomplicated and essentially
implies sustenance. However,
Haryana with its essentially
agrarian culture, has
retained a simplicity
in its cuisine. |
