The term North India officially refers to the states of Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, 
Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and the Union Territories of Delhi and Chandigarh. North India has been the historical 
centre of the Maurya, Gupta, Pala, Harsha, Mughal, Sur, Sikh and British Indian Empires. It has a diverse culture, and 
includes the Hindu pilgrimage centers of Char Dham, Haridwar, Varanasi, Ayodhya, Mathura, Allahabad, Vaishno Devi and the Buddhist pilgrimage centers of Sarnath and Kushinagar, the Sikh Golden Temple as well as world heritage sites such as the Nanda 
Devi Biosphere Reserve, Khajuraho temples, Hill Forts of Rajasthan, Jantar Mantar (Jaipur), Bhimbetka Caves, Sanchi monuments, Qutb 
Minar, Red Fort, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri and the Taj Mahal.  North Indian Culture is mainly rooted in Indo-Aryan traditions and customs, with assimilation of - and impact from - other cultures over long periods of history. North Indian culture reflects the diversity of traditions and customs of the vast region it encompasses.
The term North Indian Culture officially describes the cultural heritage of the seven North Indian states of Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir,Chandigarh (Union Territory), Haryana, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.[1] Other states which are not formally part of North India, but which are traditionally - culturally and linguistically - seen to be so are Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
