Chandigarh fails to excite on the accommodation front, especially when it comes to value for money. To stay with a family, contact the Chandigarh Tourism offi ce (p 209 ) for details about its Bed & Breakfast scheme (rooms from 1000).
Faridkot was once capital of a Sikh state of the same name and has a 700-year-old fortress. The 13th-century poet and Sufi Baba Sheikh Farid lived here, and he is honoured by a festival (see p 200 ). His belief in equality influenced Guru Nanak (see the boxed text, p 1110 ) and some of his poems are in the Sikh holy book, the Guru Granth Sahib.
