At the vibrant Saras Mela held in the courtyard of Sheesh Mahal, the Tourism Department of Punjab has set up an Exhibition Bus to introduce visitors from India and abroad to the state’s rich heritage and tourist attractions. The bus has become a major highlight, drawing thousands of visitors daily.
Deputy Commissioner Dr. Preeti Yadav stated that the primary objective of the Saras Mela is to provide a platform for artisans and artists from across the country and beyond to showcase their talents. She emphasized that the Tourism Department’s Exhibition Bus has been a key attraction for both local residents and international visitors, as it offers comprehensive information about Punjab’s must-visit destinations in one place. Dr. Preeti Yadav also encouraged the people of Patiala to visit the bus while attending the mela.
Mela Officer and ADC Anuprita Johal highlighted that the Exhibition Bus, located near the entrance of Sheesh Mahal, immediately captures the attention of every visitor. She pointed out that while Punjab boasts numerous tourist destinations, many remain unknown to the general public. To bridge this gap and educate people about the history and significance of these locations, the Tourism Department has brought this mobile exhibition to the Saras Mela, where it will remain until February 23.
Tourist Officer Hardeep Singh explained that under the leadership of Tourism and Cultural Affairs Minister Tarunpreet Singh Sond, the Exhibition Bus has been touring across Punjab. The bus features audio-visual displays on LED screens inside and outside, providing insights into Punjab’s renowned sites. Additionally, literature and photographs inside the bus further illustrate these tourist destinations.
