➡️Background of the place: A group of people from countries like USA, Germany & France visited this village & requested villagers to help them in transforming the locality into a painted hamlet, showcasing the rich cultural heritage, paintings of martyrs of Punjab, ideal ways of living & other elements of art and culture.
The local administration also joined hands with the team & extended full support to the nobel cause. This initiative & the village became the limelight of Punjab & inspired others to beautify their localities & maintain cleanliness in the surroundings.
➡️ My Story- The State of Punjab that has been feeding the world from decades has deep cultural roots that are immersed in simplicity, belongingness & togetherness. Till date the villages use the same old methods of producing jaggery (gud), growing crops by ploughing with cows & using dung balls to cook food. Though the Villages have progressed & have touch of Urbanisation but still they relish the age old practices of doing work manually & the elders gather at the common place of Village called SHAMLAT to discuss the issues of world/society and know the well being of near and dear ones alng with playing cards.
When I visited this place, the people welcomed me with open arms. They offered tea, lassi & food & narrating stories about the place with the feeling of belongingness & love. This clean painted village is a must visit place to see & feel the real beauty that lies in simplicity & togetherness.
