The holy city of Amritsar
There is nothing more rejuvenating than starting your holiday with some spiritual nourishment. The holy gurdwaras (shrines) and numerous places of worship in Amritsar offer solace from the fast-paced urban life. Amritsar is a beautiful city in the northwestern Indian state of Punjab and is known for its great culture, delicious delicacies, and unique dance forms.
The Harmandar Sahib Gurudwara is the holiest religious complex of the Sikh religion. The shrine has a great history attached to it and was erected in 1574 by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, the first Sikh martyr and the fifth Guru. It was then rebuilt in the mid-18th century by the great emperor of Punjab, Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Thousands of believers visit the holy place for a spiritual experience and witness the cultural richness of the Sikh religion.
The city is well connected to many domestic and international destinations, and one can fly to Amritsar at any time of the year. IndiGo has launched direct flights to Amritsar from Delhi, Mumbai and other major airports.
