Harman Singh
: If ledge is used for projection then ਛੱਜਾ is exact word used in Punjab. It is given for porch because both are external structures! only difference is porch can have beams and colomns

ਕਿੰਗਰਾ
Word ਛੱਜਾ as suggested by Soodan saab is mainly used for 'porch'. If you pick-up English-Punjabi dictionary of Punjabi University Patiala and see 'porch', you will find it is defined as ਛੱਜਾ. So 'ਕਿੰਗਰਾ' should be the right word for Window Ledge.
