Scope Of Work :
The Holy city Amritsar is ranked 12th among major tourist destinations in
India and opening of the Heritage Village will revive the old charm of
Punjabs villages which used to showcase various religions.

The location of the village on the road to the Attari-Wagah joint checkpost
would come in handy to the thousands of tourists heading to witness the
Retreat Ceremony.

It would include shops of potter, blacksmith, carpenter, dhaba and an


akhara, a traditional wrestling place. These shops would not only prepare
traditional items but would sell these to the interested visitors. A block had
been reserved for holding a mela, which used to be an integral part of the
rural life. Interested tourists could also stay there, as nearly 20 rooms are
being constructed for staying purpose.

As per the ancient tradition of Punjab, the village would have a "khera" (first
house dedicated to God with no idol
inside) and "Gugga Marri" (snake shrine).
These shrines used to be built first
before the setting up of a new village.
