Hoshiarpur is a small and a quiet
town in the Doaba region of Punjab. Located
in the lap of the Shiwalik range, it is
considered to be the greenest of the
districts within the state. A large number
of people from this region have settled
abroad. Their remittances have in turn
helped the area to prosper, making it
arguably one of the most prosperous in
Punjab. The handicrafts from Hoshiarpur too
are very popular and are exported to various
countries. Another well known aspect of
Hoshiarpur are its world-renowned
astrologers. The Bhrigu Pandits have
been working to predict people's future
based on the script of Bhrigu Sanghita
for generations.
