"Amritsar beckons with its myriad charms. Be it, the pompous ceremony by troops at the Wagah border and the dazzling opulence of the Golden Temple, or the soul stirring experience at the Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar offers all this and much more."
Amritsar is the nucleus of the Sikh religion and the lavish and legendary Golden Temple is Amritsar's main claim to fame. This dazzling Gurudwara sits in the midst of the holy Harmandir Sahib pool and Amritsar is named after this pool. The number of devotees of different faiths visiting this place is said to outnumber the number of people visiting Taj Mahal. Besides the Golden Temple, visitors also flock to the infamous Jallianwala Bagh, which represents one of the blackest episodes of British colonial rule. The satiating food and generous dollops of legendary Punjabi hospitality further connive to cast a spell upon the visitor.
