Khanna is an ancient town situated on the historic Grand Trunk Road (National Highway No 1), 45 km south-east of Ludhiana, in Punjab. It is considered the biggest grain market in Asia. Khanna is a few kilometers north-west of Mandi Gobindgarh in
Fatehgarh Sahib District.
Khanna is an ancient town which came into existence 500 years back. History reveals that Sher Shah Suri built a number of
Sarais(inns) at every 12 to 15 miles along Delhi Lahore road. One of the Sarais was built in this area which is still known as
Purani Sarai. After the decline of mughal rule in Punjab Banda Bahadur captured the area from Sirhind to Hoshiarpur. After
that a jathedar of Dahedu controlled and occupied the whole of area from Dahedu to Nabha. He married his daughter Daya
Kaur to king of Nabha. When a family dispute arose between king of Nabha and Rani Daya Kaur she left Nabha for good and
came back to Dahedu her parental home. According to Indian conventions she could not remain with her parents forever.
Therefore, her father cut out a KANA which signifies a small portion of territory between Dahedu and Nabha.With passage of
time word KANA came to be known as KHANNA. The original area of Khanna is chotta khanna while the modern extension is
now called Khanna
