MUMBAI: The Quilas of Patiala are surrounded by shops selling phulkaari juttis and parandis. Anchor Amrita Gandhi travels through Patiala and finds a flame that has been burning since the days of the first founder of the kingdom - Baba Aala Singh. She then meets the modern day women of Patiala - Preneet Kaur and Rishma Kaur, mother in law and daughter in law who have made Patiala their own.
A fencing lesson at the National Institute of sports and then Amrita heads out to Kapurthala. Here a French style palace and a Marakesh inspired mosque await. These are the legacies of a well travelled King, a Francophile Maharajah Jagatjit Singh, whose grandson Brigadier Sukhjit Singh is the present day custodian of Kapurthala?s history.
