The average rainfall in the State is 45 cm. The south­western parts of the state (including Sirsa, Bhiwani, Hissar, Rewari, Rohtak, Gurgaon, Faridabad and Mahendragarh) receive less rainfall. The north-eastern parts (including Ambala, Yamunanagar, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Karnal, Jind, Sonepat and Panipat) get plenty of rainfall.

Soil :

The hilly areas of the State are limited. Most of the terrain is used for agricultural production. Rivers of the area bring fertile soil along with them from the mountains and deposit it in the plains. This soil is very useful for cultivation.

There are three types of soil in Haryana, which depend upon three types of terrain of the state. These three types of the terrain are-hilly, plain and sandy. The soil of the hilly terrain is rocky. The terrain of the plains has fertile soil.

The colour of this soil is yellowish grey. It has been deposited here by the rivers Yamuna and Saraswati. The terrain of the sandy tracts of the State has sandy soil. The colour of the soil is light grey. It is brought into the state by the high-speed warm winds of Rajasthan. It is not fertile. The hilly areas of the State have thin but rock-solid soil.

The rivers of the state deliver fertile soil along their valleys. This soil has fine grains. In Yamunanagar, various types of soil are found. One type does not have nitrogen and phosphorus in abundance. Further, red chestnut soil is also found in this area. In the sub-hilly region of the Shivaliks, domut, grey and sandy soils are found. The terrain has ample quantities of small pebbles and stones.

In Rohtak district, the soil is fertile. In most of the areas of Jhajjar Tehsil, one can find sand dunes. The soil here is of light grey colour; it lacks nitrogen. The soil of Sonepat district is sandy and domut. In Sirsa district, red soil is found. In Hissar, Bhiwani and Fatehabad, sandy domut soil is in abundance. In this soil, crops can be grown, if water is supplied to the same.

The soil of Gurgaon district is of two types. In the uneven tract of the district, sandy and domut soil is found. It is found in Sohna, Gurgaon and Punhana. In the plain-cum-sandy tract, the soil found is sandy. It is found in Ferozepur-Jhirka, Nagma, Tavadu and Pataudi. But at the same time the plain-cum-sandy tract also has chikni soil, which is found in Nuh and Ferozepur Jhirka. But it is found only in a few parts of these two towns.

In Jind district, soil has been brought by rivers Ghaggar and Yamuna. It is also called alluvial soil. The soil of Ambala and Kaithal district is yellowish-grey in colour. But in some parts, rocky terrain is also found. The soil of Faridabad is fertile; its colour is yellowish-grey. The soil of districts Kurukshetra, Panipat and Karnal is yellowish-grey and fertile. The soil of district Mahendragarh and Rewari is predominantly sandy; it is not very much fertile. The colour of this soil is light grey.

Main Rivers in Haryana:

Rivers in Haryana:

There are (or were) eight major rivers in Haryana-Yamuna, Ghaggar, Saraswati, Dohan, Tangri, Krishnawati, Sahibi and Markanda.

Yamuna:

Yamuna River forms the eastern boundary of Haryana with Uttar Pradesh. It enters Haryana near the Kalesar forest in Yamunanagar district. It flows due south along the districts of Yamunanagar, Karnal, Panipat, Sonepat and leaves Haryana near Hasanpur in district Faridabad.

At Tajewala barrage in district Yamunanagar, the water of the river Yamuna are diverted to the western Yamuna canal for irrigation. There is a nice tourist spot at Hathni Kund near this barrage. The world famous Taj Mahal is situated on the banks of this river in Agra, Uttar Pradesh.

It is also called Yamna, Jamna and Jamuna in local dialects. This revered river originates from the Champasar Glacier at an altitude of 4,421 m in the State of Uttarakhand. Some say that the source of the river is the Saptarishi Kund, glacial lake. There is a sacred shrine of Yamunotri or Yamnotri, near this source at an altitude of 3,235 m.

There is a temple dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, which remains closed from November to May. At ^numanchatti or Hanuman Ganga merges with Yamuna river. Yamunotri finds a special mention in the Hindu mythology. According to a legend, this secluded hilly spot was the home of an ancient sage, Asit Muni.

From Uttarakhand, the river flows into the State of Himachal Pradesh. After passing leaving Paonta Sahib, Yamuna flows along the boundary of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh and after leaving Haryana, it continues to flow till it merges with the river Ganga (Ganges) at Sangam or Prayag in Allahabad (Uttar Pradesh). The total length of the river is 1,370 km. Its major tributaries are the Chambal and Betwa rivers.

Religious Importance:


The Rivers Ganga and Yamuna, along with the now dried Saraswati, are the most sacred rivers of India. Yamuna, according to the legends, is the daughter of the Sun God, Surya and the sister of Yama, the God of Death.

According to ancient beliefs, it is said that those who take a dip in the holy waters of the river, do not fear death. This river is also closely connected to Mahabharata and Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna's father, Vasudeva, crossed the Yamuna with baby Lord Krishna for a safer place. It is said that Lord Krishna played along with his cowherd friends on the banks of river Yamuna during his childhood in Nandgram, Mathura.

Saraswati:

River Saraswati is believed to have drained the north and northwest region of India, including Haryana and Punjab, in ancient times. It is also believed to be supporting a large number of settlements during those times. There are numerous references to the river Saraswati in the ancient Indian literature of the Vedic and post-Vedic period.

Rig Veda, the most ancient of the four Vedas, describes Saraswati as a mighty river with many individually recognized tributaries. The sacred book calls Saraswati as the seventh river of the Sindhu-Saraswati river system, hence the name Saptasindhu for the region bounded by rivers Saraswati in the east and Sindhu (Indus) in the west.

Rig Veda hymns also describe life and times of the people residing in the Saraswati river valley. Rig Veda describes Saraswati as Ambitame, the best of the mothers; and Devitame, the best of the goddesses. An ancient site in Kunal and Banawali, in district Fatehabad, has been found on the banks of the dried river bed of Saraswati.

Saraswati is believed to have originated from the Har-ki-Dun glacier in West Garhwal. It flowed parallel to the river Yamuna for some distance and later joined it, the unified river proceeding toward south as the Vedic Saraswati. The seasonal rivers and rivulets, including Ghaggar, joined Saraswati as it followed the course of the present river through Punjab and Haryana.

River Sutlej, the Vedic Shatadru, joined the river Saraswati as a tributary at Shatrana, at a distance of approximately 25 kilometres south of Patiala. Saraswati then followed the co

Main Foods of Haryana:

Cuisine of Haryana:

Haryanvi cuisine is like the people of Haryana - simple, earthy and inextricably linked to the land. In Haryana, the emphasis is on food that is wholesome, fresh and prepared with little or no fuss at all. Food always evolves out of a certain cultural context. The simpler the culture or civilisation, so is the cuisine which is uncomplicated and essentially implies sustenance. Haryana with its essentially agrarian culture has retained simplicity in its cuisine.

The 'Land of Rotis' is an apt title for Haryana, as people are fond of eating different kinds of rotis here. Wheat rotis are common and so are baajre ki roti. In earlier times, rotis would be made from a flour of wheat, gram and barley, a truly nutritious and healthy combination. Then there is the gochini atta made from wheat and gram flour. However with the rising price of gram and barley, people prefer the comparatively cheaper wheat flour, a loss both in terms of taste and nutrients.

Haryana is well known for its cattle wealth and is the home of the famous Murrah buffalo and the Haryana cow. No wonder there is an abundance of milk and milk products in Haryanvi cuisine. People make butter and ghee at home and use these liberally in their daily diet. Homemade fresh butter is called nooni or tindi ghee and is churned daily in most homes. It is customary for a girl's family to give her gifts of ghee (clarified butter), gondh (edible gum), laddus (a sweetmeat made of gram flour) and dry fruits when she becomes a mother. Buttermilk, chaaj is a favourite drink and is an instant cooler for summers. Lassi made from yoghurt is another popular drink, almost a meal in itself. The Haryanvi's love for lassi can be gauged from the fact that thandai, a sweet, milk based drink is called kachi lassi in Haryana.

Haryana surrounds the country's capital Delhi on three sides, forming the northern, western and southern borders of Delhi. Consequently, a large area of south Haryana is included in the National Capital Region for purposes of planning and development.

Geography of Haryana:

Geography of Haryana:

Haryana has the Shivalik hills in the north and a range of Aravalli hills, in South West which runs through southern Delhi and the Gurgaon district up to Alwar. There are some high ridges running from the north-west to south-east with numerous spurs branching out in all directions. These hills are known as the Morni and Tipra ranges. They belong to the outer ranges of the Himalayas. The important rivers are Yamuna, the Saraswati and the Ghaggar. Several small streams flow through the state they are the Markanda, the Sahibi and Indori. Yamuna is the most important river in the state. It has its source in the hills at Kalesar and is the source of irrigation for large tracts in the districts of Ambala, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Hissar and Rohtak through the western Yamuna canals.

The rainfall in the region is low and erratic except in parts of the Karmal and Ambala districts. The rainfall is unevenly distributed during the year except for two well marked seasons. One is the monsoon period lasting from the middle of June to the end of September on which autumn crop and spring sowing depend and the other is the winter rains which occur from December to February, benefiting rabi crop. The state occupies a fertile tract of river plain and is the "bread basket of the nation," with irrigation canals and modern crop technology producing nearly a quarter of India's wheat, along with millet, rice, corn, sugar cane, and cotton, and one-third of its milk and dairy foods. Soil is formed almost entirely of alluvium. The state is situated towards the depressions of the rivers Ganges and Indus. It is a broad level plain standing nearly on the watershed between the basins of the two rivers. Machine tools, electrical goods, cement, paper, and bicycles are manufactured in Haryana. Passing through Haryana are the Northern Railroad and the Grand Trunk Road, the most famous highway in India. Described by Rudyard Kipling in his novel Kim, it stretches 2,000 kilometers from all the way to Calcutta.
