Amritsar, located in Punjab, is one of India?s most significant religious and cultural cities, best known for being the spiritual center of Sikhism. The Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) is the holiest Gurdwara in Sikhism and attracts millions of pilgrims and tourists from around the world. Amritsar also holds historical importance as the site of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919, a tragic event during British colonial rule, which is commemorated with a memorial. The city is known for its vibrant culture, traditional Punjabi cuisine (including Amritsari kulcha and lassi), and its role in the Indian independence movement. Amritsar has a bustling market, particularly in areas like Hall Bazaar, where tourists can buy traditional handicrafts, textiles, and souvenirs. The city is also a major center for Sikh education, with institutions like Guru Nanak Dev University. The Wagah Border ceremony, held every evening at the India-Pakistan border near Amritsar, is another popular attraction. Amritsar?s deep cultural roots, religious significance, and historical importance make it a major destination in India.
