Kapurthala, Former princely capital in Punjab, India.

Located at an elevation of 225 meters, Kapurthala extends across the fertile plains of Punjab with the Jagatjit Palace at its center.

The Ahluwalia Sikh rulers gained control of Kapurthala in 1772, transforming it from a Muslim chieftain territory into a significant princely state.

The Moorish Mosque, built between 1917 and 1930, stands as a National Monument under Archaeological Survey of India and mirrors Marrakesh architecture.

The city connects to major destinations through National Highways and the Jalandhar-Firozpur railway line, with Amritsar airport located nearby.

With a population of 101,854 according to the 2011 census, Kapurthala holds the distinction of being India's least populated city.
