Nabha

Nabha is a city and municipal council in the Patiala district in the south-west of the Indian state of Punjab. It was the capital of the former Nabha State. Nabha is also a sub-division city which comes under Patiala district.

Nabha is located at 30°22′N 76°09′E / 30.37°N 76.15°E / 30.37; 76.15. It has an average elevation of 246 metres (807 feet).

As of 2001 India census, Nabha had a population of 67,972. Males constitute 53% of the population and females 47%. Nabha has an average literacy rate of 74%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 79%, and female literacy is 69%. In Nabha, 10% of the population is under 6 years of age.

In 1947, Nabha formed a part of Patiala and East Punjab States Union (PEPSU). At a subsequent reorganization, Patiala was created as a district and Nabha formed a subdivision in Patiala District.

The modern Nabha is a thriving if somewhat dusty town (about 25 kilometers from Patiala). Nabha is famous as a manufacturing hub of combine harvesters. A new colony HIRA ENCLAVE (PUDA) has been established on the outskirts of the city and has 864 plots with a population capacity of about 5000 people

Like many other cities of India, Nabha has landmarks called "gates" which roughly circumscribe the city. In Nabha, these are Patiala Gate, Alhoran Gate, Dulladi Gate, Mehs Gate and Bouran Gate.
