Harike
Harike is a small town of Amritsar. Harike has a strategic importance which many of the countrymen may not be aware of. River Beas merges with Sutlej at Harike. The combined sutlej enters Pakistan from here. As per Indus Water Treaty, Sutlej, Beas and Ravi are allocated to India whereas Indus, Jhelum and Chenab for Pakistan. Harike barrage is responsible for controlling flow of water into Pakistan. Water from here is diverted to various cities of punjab, haryana and rajasthan through canals, much to properity of the nation.
Standing on barrage, it is amazing to see the river in fully glory on Indian side and almost dry and sandy on the other side. There is small police checkpost at the roadside of barrage to keep an eye on.
It was a foggy drive in the morning. By the time I reached Harike, the sun has overpowered fog and I saw this board ( bit interesting ) with a local Punjab Roadways bus.
Checkout Google Maps ( notice greenery either side).
Shot just after crossing the barrage on National Highway 15.
Update : Here are the images.

Nihang from Amritsar
A Nihang with his horse.
Few Kilometers away from Amritsar, Punjab.
Nihang is a Persian word meaning crocodile. Nihangs were suicide squads of the Mughal army and wore blue uniforms. The Sikhs took the name and the uniform from theMughals. Nihangs are fearlessand are ever ready for martyrdom and remain unsullied by worldly possessions. A Nihang is one who has nothing and is free from anxiety. The order is said to have been founded by Guru Gobind Singh himself as a fighting body of the Khalsa. The Nihangs were also called Akalis (servitors of the Timeless God) which term has now become synonymous with the members of a political party in Punjab. (Most of them wear blue turbans).
Nihangs can be recognized from a distance as they wear dark blue robes with their legs bare below the knees and high blue and yellow turbans laced with steel discs. They usually carry spears, swords, daggers and shields. They use a charming vocabulary of Braggadocio, which has found its way into the Punjabi language.
