Not being a political unit, the boundaries of the region are ill-defined and focus on historical accounts.

A must visit place to know the culture and religion of punjab and it's people. The 3d effects, lighting, ambiance of the place is mind blowing. It is beautifully made. The building structure is also very nice. The only drawback is maintainance, we the people of this country should learn to behave and maintain the museums and other historical places well so that we feel proud in presenting them at international level as well.

The central Sikh Museum displays the Sikh history from the very beginning to the day... it is a very quick way to learn about the Sikh faith and the history of Sikhs and their role in the Indian freedom struggle

Virasat-e-Khalsa is a museum of Sikhism, located in the holy town, Anandpur Sahib, near Chandigarh, the capital of the state of Punjab. The museum celebrates 500 years of the Sikh history and the 300th anniversary of the birth of Khalsa, based on the scriptures written by the tenth and last human guru, Guru Gobind Singh.

This fabulous museum is a must see for anyone interested in Sikhisim, After visiting the Gurdwaras we went to this striking building, Entry was free. and there were no queues . On one side was a special exhibition for the 550th anniversary of Guru Nanak, this was interesting, but: the main buildings was mesmerising ! Please take an ID card or Driving Licence as you will need to leave it as a deposit for the free Audio Guide, apparently people are removing them from the building where they don't work out off site! We had to leave a creditcard as we didn't have enough ID cards for our teenagers, thankfully it was returned safely . The exhibition audioguide were in English/Punjabi :and beautifully informative with stunning displays using the full height of the structures, The amazing visuals tell the stories of the Guru's, Maharajas and Sikh's during British Rule through to partition and ethos of the Khalsa in the modern world. It needs 3 hours to do it justice and give it the attention that it deserves. I was humbled to meet a security guard that appeared to be smartly dressed Sikh Guard but wore a badge "Rafi Mohammed " We curiously asked was this his name, he proudly said he was a muslim and was stunned by this example of secularism and tolerance in India at a time of global religious tension. I felt truly uplifted and inspired as a sikh by this museum and I beleive it is a real asset and centre piece that explains the legacy and heritage of Sikhism I can understand why it is the most visited museum in India and a must visit if you want to enhance your knowlege of the Khalsa( sikh population)
