Amritsar

Amritsar, located in the northwestern Indian state of Punjab, is a city with the religious culture of the Sikh community. It is often referred to as the "Spiritual and Cultural Capital of the Sikhs." Amritsar is famous for the Golden Temple, or Harmandir Sahib, which is one of the most iconic religious sites in the world.

The Golden Temple is a stunning structure surrounded by the Amrit Sarovar. Pilgrims and visitors go to the temple to participate in the community kitchen, which serves free meals to everybody, and experience the mesmerizing Sikh scriptures inside the temple.

Jallianwala Bagh, another historical site in Amritsar, commemorates the tragic massacre of hundreds of Indians by British troops in 1919. The bullet marks on the walls serve as a somber reminder of India's struggle for independence.

Amritsar's significance extends beyond Sikhism, as it is a melting pot of cultures and religions. If you are simply a traveler seeking a deeper understanding of India's cultural diversity, Amritsar offers a unique experience.
