Greetings from Patiala Foundation!

Welcome to Patiala Heritage Walk! This walk covers 6 heritage sites of Patiala starting from Shahi Samadhan and ending at Qila Mubarak. Patiala Heritage Walk is a specially curated trail designed by us to showcase the forgotten legacy of the Maharajas and the fine artisanship of Punjab to the tourists and new-generation inhabitants of the locality. Follow this e-Book to explore the location by yourself. Please remember, that to access this e-Book, an active internet connection is required

Also, a Pause point is a location where the trail has to pause to explore the history of the site. It can be identified by a Brown Board, with a QR code and Patiala Foundation’s logo
