About Amritsar

Amritsar, the spiritual capital of Sikhism, is home to the Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) — the holiest shrine of the Sikh faith. The Golden Temple, with its stunning gold-plated upper storeys reflected in the surrounding Amrit Sarovar (Pool of Nectar), attracts over 1 lakh visitors daily. The langar (community kitchen) at the temple serves free meals to approximately 50,000-75,000 people every day. The city also carries the solemn legacy of the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Amritsar's Wagah Border, 28 km away, hosts the famous Beating Retreat ceremony between India and Pakistan. The city is legendary for its cuisine — Amritsari kulcha, butter chicken (claimed to originate here), and the iconic Kesar da Dhaba operating since 1916.
