The Face of Punjab
The faces of Punjab - Mosaics of history.
Within each feature, the imprint of ancient civilisations and migrations. An unbroken link between past and present, heritage and identity.
Within each one of us, a testament to the strength and diversity of those who walked our land and carried our culture before us.

Where heritage and identity meet ~
The populations of Punjab were shaped by more than shifting borders and empires.
The region is defined by rivers, plains, trade routes, and seasonal/ climatic extremes.
These conditions converge to favour populations that adapted to both movement and settlement.
Over time, native communities, migrants, traders, and travellers left their imprint on the population itself.
The Face of Punjab page explores genealogy at a regional scale - how environment, mobility, and continuity shaped the physical traits of those who lived there - and why no single face can represent Punjab alone.
Here, heritage and identity combine
In the Punjab region, people coexist with the land - sustaining a centuries old cycle.
Settlement. Migration. Return.
Farmers. Labourers. Traders.
Over time, this forged a population - resilient, diverse, and formed at the crossroads of worlds.
