Haryana, State region in northern India

The territory covers 44,212 square kilometers of plains, agricultural fields, and industrial zones between Delhi, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan.

The region emerged as an independent state on November 1, 1966, when the Indian government separated it from Punjab based on linguistic differences.

The population of 25 million people speaks Hindi and Haryanvi, maintains agricultural traditions, and celebrates regional festivals throughout six administrative divisions.

Chandigarh serves as the capital city, featuring government offices, educational institutions, and transportation connections to major urban centers in northern India.

The state contains the ancient battlefield of Kurukshetra, where the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata records the philosophical dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna.
