Punjab is a state located in the northern region of India. The state shares its borders with the neighboring country of Pakistan. The name "Punjab" is derived from two Persian words, "Panj" meaning five and "Aab" meaning water, as the region is home to five rivers - Beas, Sutlej, Ravi, Chenab, and Jhelum.
Punjab is known for its rich cultural heritage, vibrant festivals, and delicious food, particularly its Punjabi cuisine. The state is also famous for its agriculture, and is often referred to as the "Granary of India" due to its significant contribution to the country's food production.
