Amritsar is a very beautiful city in Punjab. The most important thing about Amritsar is its religious and cultural importance. Although Amritsar is a famous and ancient city, but nowadays it remains a center of attraction.
This is the history of Amritsar.
It is located in the north-western part of India and is known as the holy city of Sikhs. The name of the city Amritsar was given by Guru Ramdas Ji in 1543 BC by architect Bairam Khan. The main religious place of Amritsar is Harmandir Sahib, which is also known as the Golden Temple. It is one of the holy places of Sikhism and it was built by Guru Arjun Dev Ji. The architecture of Harmandir Sahib is very beautiful and it is known as the Golden Church.
How to go to the Golden Temple of Amritsar?
If you are planning to go to Amritsar, then do not forget to visit the Golden Temple. From my experience, I would like to tell you that as soon as you reach Amritsar, book a hotel near the Golden Temple to stay, so that you can see the most spectacular view at night. You can do good shopping by walking in the market there. Night time is also good to visit the Golden Temple. There is always a crowd here, but if you go during Guru Nanak Jayanti, you may have to stand in line for two to three hours. Such a good system has been made there that despite the crowd, time passes easily.
There is a facility of drinking water at many places. There is a free arrangement for keeping bags and shoes. There is a provision of langar in the Gurudwara there. Do not forget to take prasad from there.
What else is there to see in Amritsar?
In the second day’s tour program, other important places in Amritsar include Jallianwala Bagh. Which is at a walking distance from the Golden Temple. This is the place of a cruel incident. Bullet marks and wells can still be seen here. The museum built here is also worth seeing. While looking at the entire garden, it seems as if the incident is revolving in front of the eyes and everything can be felt.
Apart from that, Akal Taksala, Jagdamba Temple, Baiga Bazaar, Ram Tirath, Durgiana Temple, Rani Ki Bagh, Durgiana Temple etc. are also centers of attraction.
Which season is good?
Although Amritsar can be visited in every season, but if seen, the weather here keeps changing rapidly, but generally the winter months, October to March, are the best to visit. At this time the weather is pleasant and the land is alive and green.
If you are also planning to go here, then do not forget to eat delicious Amritsari khulche here, along with this, the specialties here include the variety of traditional delicious food of the Sikhs, the huge variety of different products in the markets, and the very exciting activities of cultural theaters. The city of Amritsar has gained popularity among travelers, and people come here to experience its local specialties and Sikh culture. Therefore, a trip to Amritsar can become a memorable experience for you.
How to reach Wagah Border?
As soon as your time to see Amritsar is over, around 2:30 pm you can go to Wagah Border from there by auto, bus or personal vehicle. Waga Border is the name of a place, which is located on the border between India and Pakistan. This Waga border is in Amritsar district of Punjab. Here is the border area between India and Pakistan, which is known as “Waga Border” among the people of the Sikh community. Special events are organized on the border on Vijay Diwas and other important occasions. There is a daily parade from around 4 pm and it is a wonderful sight to see on both the borders.
Here you can also enjoy photography and dance on patriotic songs at various points. According to my experience, you can reach here on time and see the whole view. Never miss this in the Amritsar tour program. As soon as the parade is over, you can return to Amritsar.
Things to keep in mind during the journey.
The tip in this journey would be that you should book your hotel near the Golden Temple. This will give you a different experience of the journey, if you have children with you at the Wagah border, then take special care of them. It is a crowded place in the evening, and there is also a problem of mobile network.
“Pleasant journey”
