Desan me des Haryana, Jit doodh dahi ka khana...
The
name Haryana means the abode of God. It is a blend of two Sanskrit words ‘Hari’
which means God and ‘ayana’ meaning home. It is a land where guests are treated
equal to god.
Haryana represents the face of modern India. The
one which is heralding the future yet prides itself of being rooted in its
magnificent culture. Today Haryana is positioned among one of the wealthiest and most economically developed
regions in South Asia.
Haryana is a vivid kaleidoscope of diverse
landscapes, showcasing magnificent archaeology and celebrating art and culture.
A state that has transcended on a journey and preserved the best of both worlds
– the footprints of the bygone era and futuristic
vision.
From being
referred to as ‘heaven on earth’ in ancient Sanskrit texts to being the bedrock
of Indus valley civilization, Haryana has one of the most unique histories. This land has also witnessed
historical battles, including the famous battles at Panipat and has lent canvas
for the epic battle of Mahabharata at Kurukshetra.
Today Haryana
stands tall with its achievements in agriculture, industrialization and
flourishing art and culture. Rich in
history, monuments, heritage, flora
and fauna, human resources and tourism with well developed economy, national highways and state roads, Haryana is a journey
worth experiencing.
