The
major city in Punjab are ,Amritsar , Jalandhar, Chandigarh,
Ludhiana and Patiala,Dancing to the tune of DHOL are
youth of punjab performing the folk dance.The
Bhangra celebrates the harvest and is associated with the festival
of Baisakhi (April 13) when the sight of tall heaps of golden wheat
fill the farmer’s heart with joy. To the accompaniment of large
drums called dhols, he and his fellow villagers circle round and
round in a leaping, laughing caper. It’s a dance that cuts across
all divisions of class and education. At marriages, parties, or
celebrations of any sort, it is quite common for men to break out in
Bhangra. There are few sights more cheering than that of a dignified
elder in three-piece suit getting up to join the young fellows for a
moment of bhangra revelry.

Ludhiana
has very hot summers and very cold winters. The monsoon visits this
city around July and extends up to the beginning of September.
Winters generally set in around November, when it becomes very cold
during the night. But the city produces and exports hosiery and
woolen products. If you can stand neither extreme heat nor cold, the
best time to visit Ludhiana is from February to mid April. Thus,
cotton clothing is apt for summers and woolens are required for
winters.
