Sacred Sikh Heritage & Spiritual Capital — Punjab

Amritsar — The Spiritual Heart of Sikh Culture

Located in the northwestern state of Punjab near the border with Pakistan, Amritsar is the spiritual and cultural heartland of the Sikh faith. Founded in 1577 by the fourth Sikh Guru, Guru Ram Das, the city takes its name from the sacred pool “Amrit Sarovar,” meaning “Pool of Nectar.” At its core lies the breathtaking Sri Harmandir Sahib, commonly known as the Golden Temple, an inspiring sanctuary open to people of all faiths, backgrounds, and walks of life. Beyond its iconic golden shrine, Amritsar is steeped in history—from the poignant memorial of Jallianwala Bagh to the lively beating-retreat ceremony at the Wagah Border. Renowned for its rich culinary traditions, vibrant bazaars, and warm Punjabi hospitality, Amritsar offers travelers a deeply moving, culturally vibrant, and unforgettable journey into the soul of Northern India.
