The management of 'Sadda Pind', the rural village-theme based eating joint will be thrown open to the general public from tomorrow, stated its management at a press conference here today.

Spread over 12 acres, the village resort's management, JMD Heritage Lawns Private Limited, stated that they had constructed houses of the lohar (ironsmith), kisan, sarpanch, zamindar, nambardar, and various artisans which were the backbone of the rural economy to showcase a village of the old times to the visitors.

Folk artistes would also perform folk dances such as bhangra, kikli and jhumar for the visitors. The village also showcases common places as the Dak Ghar, the Barat Ghar and the village Haveli.

The managing director of the resort, Ish Gambhir, said, “Sadda Pind was envisaged as a village mela that depicts the close connection that Punjabis have to their land and culture. Traditional mela rides, bajigar, gatka, jadughar are a few elements of the old Punjab villages that one can see here.”

He said antique objects and decorative pieces displayed in the resort had been sourced from regions in and around Punjab and expressed the rusticity of a traditional village.

He said to ensure a family environment at the resort, they would not serve alcohol and non-vegetarian food. The colourful culture of Punjab would be on display and the mouth-watering cuisine of the rural Punjab would be served to the visitors.

He said the cultural endeavour taken up by the resort management would also revive folk artistes and the Punjabi handicraft bazaar, which would boost the sales of local artisans. He said artisans from nearby villages had been hired, so that visitors can see for themselves how they work and manufacture goods such as paranda, phulkaris, kirpans, pots and other such items.
