The Imperial Pinjore
Located barely 22 kms from Chandigarh and 14 kms from Panchkula town,
Pinjore lies on the foothills of the lower Shivalik ranges. Pinjore
is famous for one of the most fascinating Mughal Gardens.
 |
Pinjore Gardens are one of the most popular tourist
resorts not only for tourists, but also for historians and archaeologists.
The Pinjore valley has a climate that is pleasant and far from
urban noises. Pinjore is not just an ancient, historical place
but also has a lot of religious importance. Tools of early man
have been found from the region.
From the religious angle, Pinjore has long been associated with
the five Pandava brothers of the epic Mahabharata. It is believed
that the Pandavas stayed in the area during their exile. Because
of their presence in the region, the place was once known as
Panchpura. This later changed to the word 'Pinjore'. Even today,
Pinjore bears images of its ancient history. Old scriptures
and inscriptions and an 'Baoli' or water well stand testimony
to the ancient history of the region. |
