What to see in India

Amritsar

Amritsar, located in the state of Punjab, is a vibrant and spiritually significant city, known for its rich cultural heritage, delicious cuisine, and unique hospitality. It is the heart of Sikhism and home to some of India's most iconic landmarks.

The city's main attraction is the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib), the holiest shrine of the Sikh community. This breathtaking temple, covered in gold and surrounded by the serene sacred pool "Amrit Sarovar," offers an atmosphere of peace and devotion. Don’t miss the Langar, the world’s largest free community kitchen, where everyone is welcome.

Another historically significant site is Jallianwala Bagh, a memorial garden commemorating the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, when British troops fired on peaceful protesters. Today, it stands as a place of reflection and remembrance.

Just outside the city, the Wagah Border hosts a unique patriotic spectacle with its famous border-closing ceremony, where Indian and Pakistani guards perform a synchronized parade in front of enthusiastic crowds.

The Durgiana Temple, designed similarly to the Golden Temple, is an important Hindu shrine dedicated to Goddess Durga, while Gobindgarh Fort, once owned by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, is now a cultural center where visitors can immerse themselves in the history and heritage of Punjab.
