Jagraon is a city and a municipal council, a rural police district and a sub-division of the Ludhiana district in the Indian state of Punjab. Jagraon is more than three centuries old. It has been thought that the city's original name was Jagar aon, meaning "a place of great flooding," although this flooding has since ceased. It could also be argued that Jagraon actually derives from a source with a suffix "-graon" being a development of the Sanskrit Grama, meaning "village" as in the Hindi word Gaon. Jagraon is at almost the geographical center of Punjab state, 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) from the River Satluj. It is 37 km (23 mi) from its district headquarters Ludhiana, 29 km (18 mi) from Moga, 31 km (19 mi) from Nakodar and 54 miles from Barnala. Jagraon is a religious centre for Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims as well as Jains. Jagraon was founded by Rai Kamaluddin father of Rai Kalha III of Raikot in 1680 AD. Gurdwara Nanaksar Sahib is one of the important places of worship for Sikhs. Gurdwara Mehdiana Sahib is known for its unique depiction of scenes from Sikh history, especially those of atrocities committed against Sikhs by various Mughal rulers, in the form of life-sized statues. There are also many famous Hindu temples including Bhadra Kali Mandi and Pracheen Shiv Mandir. Muslim places of worship include the famous khanqah and the mausoleum of Mohkam Din, where a three-day annual fair, Roshni da mela is held in the third week of February. Mohkam Din had two wives, one named Sara Bibi and the other Jeena Bibi. Sara Bibi is buried next to Mohkam Din and Jeena Bibi is buried about one half a miles away from Mohkam Din's Mazaar and is beautifully built. The Jagraon is the third largest grain collection market of Asia after Khanna and Rajpura. The city's major industry, besides agriculture, is rice husking, with more than 100 rice shelling facilities Villages in Jagraon Abbupura Agwar Gujjran Agwar Khuwaja Baju Agwar Ladhai Agwar Lopon Kalan Agwar Lopon Khurd Agwar Pona Agwar Rahlan Ahingran Akhara Akkuwal Aligarh Urf Shahid Rachhpal Singh Nagar Aliwal Amargarh Kaler Baghian Bahadurke Bangsipur Baniawal Bardeke Barsal Bassian Bet Bassuwal Bazurg Bhaini Araian Bhaini Gujjran Bhamal Bhamipura Bharowal Kalan Bharowal Khurd Bhatha Dhuan Bhundri Bir Akhara Bir Gagra Birk Bodalwala Boparai Kalan Burj Kulara Chachrari Chakar Cheema Chhajjewal Chimna Dalla Dangian Dehrka Dholan Dhothar Fatehgarh Sibian Gag Kalan Gagra Galib Kalan Galib Khurd Galib Ran Singh Ghamnewal Ghonewal Giddar Windi Gorahur Gorsian Kadar Bakhsh Gorsian Khan Mohammad Gorsian Makhan Gurha Hans Hathur Hayate Wala Hujra Jandi Janetpura Jassowal Kakar Urf Tihara Kamalpura Kanian Hussaini Kaonke Kalan Khosa Khudai Chak Khurshidpura Kiri Kot Mana Kot Umra Kotli Kotwal Kular Lakha Lamma Lihan Lilan Lodhi Wala Madarpura Madhepur Majri Malik Mallah Malsian Baja Malsian Bhaike Mand Tihara Maniewal Mann Manuke Manwarpura Mirpur Pabbian Parjian Biharipur Patti Multani Patti Sham Singh Pona Purain Ramgarh Bhullar Randhirgarh Ranke Raowal Rasulpur Rasulpur Roomi Sadarpura Salempur Sangatpura Sawaddi Khas Shafipura Shahbazpur Sheikh Daulat Sheikh Qutab Sheikhupura Shere Wala Sherpur Kalan Sherpur Khurd Sidhwan Bet Sidhwan Kalan Sidhwan Khurd Sodhiwala Sohian Sujapur Swaddi Khurd Sodhiwala Sohian Sujapur Swaddi Khurd Talwandi Kalan Talwandi Khurd Talwandi Nau Abad Talwara Tapar Harnian Taraf Kotli Walipur Kalan Walipur Khurd #jagraon #punjab #jagraoncity
