Patiala is the fifth largest city in Punjab and is famous for its traditional turban, paranda (tassel tag for braids) and jutti (shoes). It was built around a castle called Qila Mubarak (or Lucky Castle), 40 miles from Chandigarh. Qila Mubarak is located in the city center and covers an area of ​​10 hectares. The castle itself is a model of Mughal and Rajasthani architecture, and each of the 10 courtyards is unique in size and characteristics. Before the completion of the old Motibagh Palace, the bazaar was the main residence of the Patiala royal family, which literally means the Palace of Mirrors. Lakshman Jhula is a bridge across the lake and is the highlight of Mahal. There is also a museum in Mahal, which contains the most medals collected by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh, the ruling king of the Patiala Kingdom. Other attractions in the city include Gurdwara Dukh Niwaran Sahib, Gurdwara Moti Bagh Sahib, Bahadurgarh Fort and Baradari Gardens. The only festival celebrated here is the "Patiala Heritage Festival", so it is an integral part of almost all Patiala tourist routes. Held in February every year, it attracts music and art lovers from far and near.
