Indian Sweets | Jaijon जैजों के खोये वाले  पेडे  | 300 YRS OLD SWEET SHOP | Punjab Himachal Boarder

Among the numerous ancient cultural center in Hoshiarpur was the town Jaijon. It is said to be Founded by Jaijjat rishi around the 11th century at the Shivalik foothills, Jaijon was a flourishing trade centre. It was also known as a center for oriental studies. Noted scholars and exponents of Sanskrit, Astrology, Ayurveda, and music visited this place for meetings. Music composers Pandit Husan Lal and Bhagat Ram and noted Pakistani poet Tufail Hoshiarpuri belonged to the same place. This was a trade hub. This was the main route for the transportation of material to Himachal because of its rail link. From here material was sent on horses and camels to Himachal because at that time there were no proper road links Jaijon is also famous for ''Khoye ke PEDE'' a special sweet dish prepared with milk. In the past, this area might be rich milk belt. In present there are some sweet shop for PEDE since more than 300 years. The late Ayurveda scholar Pandit Govind Ram Vatsyayan and the late Sanskrit laureate Acharya Vishwanath belonged to Jaijon. Over the years when Chandigarh came into existence Jaijon lost its glory and now it's a sleepy town on the border of Punjab and Himachal in the foothills of Shivaliks. At present, the old building demolished and vacant houses tell the history before the 1947 old times when this Jaijon was the canter of trading and supplied goods to hill areas of Himachal Pradesh. #IndianSweets #PunjabHistory #Jaijonoldcity #Before1947 #ShivalikHills
