Amritsar
Another destination in your itinerary is Amritsar, literally meaning a pool of nectar. Situated in north-west India, Amritsar is the holy city of the followers of Sikhism, famous mainly due to the Golden Temple and its proximity to Wagah, the Indo-Pak border.
The history of Amritsar can be traced back to the Indus valley civilisation. Home to numerous gurudwaras, each of which have born witness to great events in the history of Sikhism, the city of Amritsar reflects the rich Sikh and Punjabi culture.
The land of Amritsar is enriched with many ancient customs that have evolved over a considerable period of time. Connoting different mythical and religious significance, several festivals are celebrated and fairs are organised in Amritsar. In fact, the entire place is full with jovial inhabitants who celebrate each festival with much zeal and vigour.
