Golden Temple

Golden Temple, also known as Sri Harmandir Sahib, is the holiest shrine of the Sikhs. It is located in the heart of the city of Amritsar. It was bulit in the 16th century. Since then millions of Sikhs and people of all religions have visited this place. At the centre of the shrine is the man made lake, which is surrounded by a collection of buildings around the sanctum and the pool. The additional buildings include a clock tower, the offices of Gurdwara Committee, a Museum and a langar. Langar is unique to the Sikh religion. It is a free Sikh community run kitchen that serves a simple vegetarian meal to all visitors without discrimination. So, when you are in Amritsar, you can try the langar. Over 100,000 people visit the holy shrine daily for worship.

Wagah Border

Wagah Border lies in the boundaries between Indian and Pakistani. People from all over India as well as abroad visit this place to witness the Beating Retreat Ceremony, which is is held every day before sunset. The ceremony is the lowering of flag ceremony, which is conducted by the Indian Border Security Force and Pakistan Rangers since 1959. This ceremony also includes the closing of the international gates. Every evening, just before the sunset, the soldiers from the Indian and Pakistan military meet at this border post to engage in a 30-minute display of military camaraderie and showmanship. When you are in Amritsar, you can hardly afford to miss this ceremony. The atmosphere is absolutely eletrifying.

Jallianwala Bagh

Jallianwala Bagh bears testimony to a dark period in Indian history. In this 7 acre small garden General Dyer and his army fired upon hundreds of innocent men and women. As a consequence, all of them died. All this happened on the fateful day of April the 13th, 1919. Today the place houses a museum, gallery and a number of memorial structures. The spots on the brick walls, where the bullets were fired are marked even today. When you visit Amritsar, a peep into Jallianwala Bagh gives you a sombre feeling. In fact, it is very near to the Golden Temple.

Gobindgarh Fort

Gobindgarh Fort is a historic military fort located in the center of the city. It is also known as the Bhangian da Killa (fort of the Bhangis).

If you have time in your Amritsar Trip, can you visit this fort. It is being developed as a museum and theme park. Interestingly, it is built on a square pattern, with a perimeter of around 1,000 m. It is made up entirely of bricks and lime. The fort had 25 cannons mounted on its ramparts, which it remained with the Bhangi rulers till 1805. From then till the 19th century until Indian independence in 1947, it was occupied by the British army.

Heritage/ Food Walk

The Punjabi food are famous the world over. So, when you are in Amritsar, which is the home of the Punjabis, you can hardly afford to miss the authentic Punjabi food. From the street food to the 5 Star hotels and restaurants, try out the best chicken and mutton sheek kababs, if you are a non-vegetarian. For vegetarians, there are mouth-watering kulchas and paneer (cheese) dishes. Take a heritage walk in the evening and immerse yourself in some local delicacies.

In fact, there are so many things to do and places to visit in Amritsar that it should be high on your bucketlist. So, the next time you want to plan something special, plan Amritsar!
