Imagine visiting an ancient city that features in the Ramayana and has some of the most noteworthy pre-colonial structures in India!
Amritsar has long been known for its iconic Golden Temple, but it has so much more to offer for history buffs.
Coupled with it's delicious culinary trail, Amritsar is a city worth visiting!
The centre/seat of Sikhism, the revered Golden Temple is an iconic place of worship. The spiritual vibe of the place can only be experienced, not explained. The beautiful lake around which devotees sit and say their prayers, the sound of the hymns or discourses can transport you to another realm. If you're lucky, you can even see one of the largest community kitchens in India which serves food to all, free of cost, and which is run by devotees, volunteering their time and services. In Sikhism, this volunteer work is called "sewa."
When you approach the temple, you'll think it's like the iconic Golden Temple, but this one is a Hindu temple, with its roots in Vedic times.
A Park (Bagh) that is steeped in the brutal colonial history of India. This is the place where General Dyer of the British Army opened fire on unarmed Indians and killed hundreds of them. The bullet holes in the walls and the well where many of them jumped to escape the bullets but were killed by drowning have been preserved, lest India forgets the price its people paid to get independence. A poignant visit to this park is a must see in Amritsar.
