Phagwara

Phagwara is a city in the state of Punjab, in northern India. It was founded by Shah Jahan in ancient times. It is the main industrial place in the Kapurthala District because of its location on the G.T Road and because of the railway link that goes
through Phagwara which connects Delhi with Amritsar. This city consists of many different types of industries like Wahid Sandhar sugar, JCT Mill Cloth, Electrical accessories, Machine Tools, Agricultural Implements and Rubber. The carnival of
Phalini is celebrated every year with lots of happiness in this city. Phagwara is 76 miles away from Chandigarh and 220 miles from Delhi.



It is located between two big cities of Ludhiana and Jalandhar and it is famous for its industries and holy places like Shiv mandir on NimaWala Chowk. It has many famous holy gurdawaras like Gurudwara Sri Guru Ravidas Maharaj on G.T.Road, Sri
Sukhchainana Sahib and Sri Chhevin Patshahi in the interior of the town. Guru Ravidas's Birth anniversary is celebrated by organising a big procession every year. A similar procession is carried out in the memory of Dr. B.R.Ambedkar, who was the
greatest leader of 20th century and a great social reformer in India. As it is sititued on national highway 1, it is one of the busiest and most expensive cities; as a result, the property market is large and fluctuating.
