became an important Mughal city. Nowadays it s a commercial hub and the venue for the Harballabh Sangeet Sammelan (see p 200 ). It s also a good base from which to visit Kapurthala, which was the home of the young Spanish flamenco dancer Anita Delgado, who married (wealthy) Maharaja Jagatjit Singh Bahadurmaharaja (a story that inspired the Javier Moro novel, Passion India).
English Garden Bar BAR (Sector 17-C; h11am-midnight; a) A basement bar below Mehfil restaurant, it doesn t exactly bring an English garden to mind, but is OK for a draught beer. A tad gloomy it may be, but snooty it is not.
These reconstructed 17th-century Mughal era walled gardens (%01733-230759; admission 20; h7am-10pm) are built on seven levels with water features (that sometimes operate) and enjoy panoramic views of the Shivalik Hills.
