Once the capital of an independent Sikh state that was established by Baba Ala Singh as the Mughals weakened, Patiala is today a modest town that sees just a trickle of travellers. It s well known for its kite fl ying during the Basant festival and, of course, the Patiala peg (see the boxed text, p 212 ).
People come to the border, 30km west of Amritsar, for two reasons: to enjoy the late afternoon border-closing ceremony (see the boxed text, p 221 ) or to use the crossing between India and Pakistan electric plugs dubai (see the boxed text, p 220 ).
