A major textile centre, Ludhiana is also the headquarters of Hero Cycles, which manufactures upward of four million bicycles annually. This big city is a convenient base from which to attend the Kila Raipur Sports Festival (see p 200 ).
Once the capital of an independent Sikh state that was established by Baba Ala Singh as the Mughals weakened, Patiala is today a modest purpose of mothballs 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 ).
