Patiala to Witness Rs 70 Crore Makeover for Guru Teg Bahadur’s Legacy
The Punjab government has announced a significant allocation of Rs 70 crore for the development of 35 sites in Patiala, all linked to the life and teachings of Guru Teg Bahadur. This ambitious project aims to enhance the historical and religious significance of these locations.
The initiative coincides with the upcoming commemorative events marking the 350th anniversary of Guru Teg Bahadur’s martyrdom. These events, commencing November 19, 2025, will include several yatras culminating at Anandpur Sahib.
Patiala will serve as a crucial stop on these yatras, further highlighting the city’s importance in Sikh history. The development work will ensure these sites are well-maintained and accessible for pilgrims and visitors alike.
This substantial investment underscores the Punjab government’s commitment to preserving and promoting the rich cultural and religious heritage of the state. The improved infrastructure is expected to boost religious tourism and contribute significantly to the local economy. The successful completion of this project will not only enhance the spiritual experience of devotees but also boost the overall tourism sector in the region.
