Panipat is a fascinating place situated on top of a mound and forms the gateway to North India. It is well placed along the national highway to Delhi and shares a border with Uttar Pradesh. It has a rich history and an equally rich tradition. Lying serene and secure on the banks of the Yamuna, the land was sole witness to three major battles in the past which left the land barren and deserted, though it has now developed into a major industrial town. Known as the city of looms, Panipat is popular for the richness of its handloom products. Termed as the cradle of rich Indian cultural heritage, it is also considered a holy land, a land of vedas and divinity.
