About
Amritsar
Punjab
Amritsar is renowned for one of India's holiest site, the dazzling Golden Temple. Founded in 1577 by the Sikh guru Ram Das, the old city of Amritsar is a fascinating place to explore with a centuries-old grid of tapering bazaars. In stark contrast, modern Amritsar is a mishmash of malls, smart hotels, colonial boulevards and the feverish drone of constant traffic.
