Geography & terrain
Jalandhar lies in the Punjab region, 80 km from Ludhiana and 380 km from Delhi — the craft city of the state, its temples, the cantonment and the markets set on the Doaba's flat country between the rivers.
History & culture
The city's story runs with the ancient name of the Jullundur of the epics — the town of the mythological Jalandhara, with the city's history of the Sikh and the Mughal eras and the cantonment of the British; the city's modern role as the sports-goods and the leather and the hand-tool capital of India, with the Devi Talab temple and the Shaheed-e-Azam memorial, gives Jalandhar its craft-city character.
