It could also be from the Deccan. But a possibility of it being a Punjabi weapon is also very high, because two most common names for swords are still found in local Punjabi Lingo, Khirch and Tulwar. Khirch was very popular in Punjab, and this might jus be some variation although it is more of a rod rather than a blade.
