Famous Banyan Tree in Fatehgarh Sahib

Posted on Tuesday, 28 February 2012 by Punjabi Articles

District Fatehgarh Sahib has one of the largest Banyan Tree in the country or may we say in the world. The tree stands in village Cholti Kalan. While coming from Sirhind side on the Sher Shah Suri Marg one has to take a left turn off the marg at Sarai Banjara village and travel about 8 kms or an interior link road to reach the site of the tree.

Once your are there, you are face to face with the mighty tree. It stands out amidst lush fields. It has to be seen to believe that the canopy of the tree spreads over 3 to 4 Acres of land. According to local information, the tree is a few hundred years old. It is also known as the ‘Kaya Kalp Vriksh’.

With Capt, Bhattal in Delhi, Lal Singh holds the show for Cong


The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) will contest the elections on its Panthic agenda, targeting the urban and rural voters alike while focusing on development. Making this apparently clear in their political speeches, SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal and SAD patron Parkash Singh Badal harped on the “anti-Punjab” policies of the Centre,not once referring to their alliance partner, the BJP.

Badal used the Shaheedi Jor Mela to seek votes for the SAD “to complete the unfinished works of his life”. This emotional appeal appeared to work on the predominantly Sikh audience that had braved the cold to listen to the political leaders
