&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Patiala district&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is one of the [[List of districts of Punjab, India|twenty three]] [[district]]s in the state of [[Punjab, India|Punjab]] in [[north-west]] [[India]].&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Punjab district map.png|thumb|right|250px|Districts of Punjab along with their headquarters]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Patiala District lies between 29 49’ and 30 47’ north [[latitude]], 75 58’ and 76 54&amp;#039; east [[longitude]], in the [[southeast]] part of the state. It is surrounded by [[Fatehgarh Sahib district|Fatehgarh Sahib]], [[Rupnagar district|Rupnagar]] and [[Mohali district|Mohali]] to the north, [[Fatehgarh Sahib district|Fatehgarh Sahib]] and [[Sangrur district|Sangrur]] districts to the west, [[Ambala district|Ambala]], [[Panchkula District|Panchkula]], [[Haryana]] to the northeast and [[Kurukshetra district|Kurukshetra]] districts of neighboring [[Haryana]] state to the east, and [[Kaithal district]] of Haryana to the southwest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Baba Ala Singh]] (1691–1765), a Sikh [[chieftain]] from the village [[Rampura Phul]] in [[Bathinda District]] of Punjab, with his army of young brave men migrated to [[Barnala]] where Baba Ala Singh in 1763 set up his new state. Later Baba Ala Singh moved to a small village of [[Lehal]] where he built a new city on the village, naming it as [[Patiala]]. He laid the foundations of a steady and stable state known as the [[Phulkian Dynasty]] south of [[Sirhind]]. In and around Patiala District he founded many villages within his territory, and reconstructed many historical [[Gurdwara]]s relating to [[Sikh]] religion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was since Baba Ala Singh&amp;#039;s time that Patiala District came into being as before the area was under the Sirhind Government. Baba Ala Singh made [[Sirhind]], [[Tohana]], [[Mansa, Punjab|Mansa]], [[Bathinda]], [[Sangrur]] and Barnala, [[Fatehabad District]] part of Patiala State.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1809, Patiala State came under British protection during the reign of Maharaja Sahib Singh (1773–1813) of Phulkian Dynasty, as he feared that Maharaja [[Ranjit Singh]] of Lahore would cross the Sutlej river and take the district and state so the Patiala rulers got the British to protect them from further invasion from 1809-1947 Patiala remained under British Protection. In 1948 Patiala Princely State was abolished by the [[Indian government]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Patiala District was further divided into [[Fatehgarh Sahib District]] on 13 April 1992 Vaisakhi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Patiala district population mainly follows Sikhism with a lesser number of Hindus and smaller numbers of Christians and Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Patiala having a population of 1,895,686 is the 4th most populated district of Punjab after Ludhiana, Amritsar, and Jalandhar as per the 2011 census.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Topography==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the area is plains in the form of [[agricultural land]]. The [[Ghaghara|river Ghaghar]] remains dry during most part of the year. However, during the rainy season, it often causes [[flooding]] in the adjoining villages, which results in damage to the crops, livestock, and human lives. Other subsidiary rivers are [[Dangri|Tangri Nadi]], Patiala-Wali-Nadi, [[Sirhind Canal|Sirhind]] Choe, and the Jhambowali Choe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from the natural water lines, the [[Bhakra Dam|Bhakra]] Main Line canal, the Nawana Branch, and the Ghaghar Link are the most important. These canals are the backbone of the [[irrigation system]] of the district.&lt;br /&gt;
