About Amritsar - The Holy City
Amritsar, the spiritual and cultural center of Sikhism, is home to the magnificent Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) - one of the most sacred religious sites in the world. Founded in 1577 by Guru Ram Das, the fourth Sikh Guru, the city derives its name from "Amrit Sarovar" meaning "Pool of Nectar."
The Golden Temple, covered in 750 kg of pure gold, attracts over 100,000 visitors daily. The temple offers free langar (community meal) to all visitors regardless of religion, caste, or creed - feeding over 50,000 people every day. The experience of the temple's reflection in the holy sarovar (pool) at night is truly divine.
Amritsar is also famous for the Wagah Border ceremony (28 km away), where the daily Beating Retreat ceremony between Indian and Pakistani forces draws massive crowds. The Jallianwala Bagh, site of the tragic 1919 massacre, stands as a powerful memorial to India's freedom struggle. Don't miss the legendary Amritsari kulcha, lassi, and street food at Lawrence Road and Hall Bazaar.
