Patiala (English spelling)
A city in the southeastern tip of Punjab, northwest India. Population 238,000 (1991). It faces the Sirhind Canal, which draws water from the Sutlej River. During the British colonial period, it flourished as the capital of the princely state of the same name, and the magnificent palace from that time is now a historical archive and museum. Along with Amritsar, it is the center of Sikh culture and education in Punjab. In addition to traditional cotton and silk weaving industries, electrical machinery and shoe manufacturing industries are also located here. In 1948, the year after the partition of India and Pakistan, eight princely states that chose to belong to India merged to form the Patiala and East Punjab State Union (PEPSU), and made it their capital.
