B.S.Goraya's Vanishing
Punjab
Photographs of Archaeological Sites and Scenes
I am not any Archaeological expert but
have a passion for this subject. Since I keep roaming in the countryside,
henceforth I have decided to share my experiences with readers. This is for
information that Archaeological heritage of East Punjab is in utter neglect
due to apathetic approach of the Govt and secondly the land in East Punjab
is in shortage. Unfortunately no university or any other department of the
Govt have ever conducted some meaningful survey in Punjab since 1970s.
It has not been possible for me to give
relevant history of the site/building in question and only a brief
description is provided. Lovers of Punjab archaeology and historians may
themselves locate the relevant history page. I will welcome scholars to add
relevant history pages to this site. Please do send the details I will
faithfully keep linking the details furnished by experts. I am just
photographing it for the posterity. At some places the archaeologist
may complain for inclusion of some of the recent structures. This because
the site is old but the structure is renovated recently. This is mostly in
case of Sikh shrines---B.S.Goraya
