Overview

About Amritsar

Amritsar is home to Sri Harmandir Sahib — the Golden Temple — the holiest shrine of Sikhism. Its gilded sanctum floating on the sacred pool is especially magical at night.

The city is also a paradise for food lovers, and the evening flag ceremony at the Attari–Wagah border is an unforgettable spectacle.
