Amritsar's top five attractions
One experience that should certainly not be missed during a trip to Amritsar is visiting the Golden Temple, the city's leading attraction and a site of great significance to Sikhs.
The complex is open from 06:00 local time until the early hours of the morning and is usually buzzing with activity, with pilgrims from all over India and further afield regularly visiting in high spirits.
Another highlight of a trip to the Indian city is the Central Sikh Museum, which is part of the Golden Temple.
The institution was established in 1958 and boasts a collection of paintings of gurus, saints, warriors and other figures of importance to the religious faith. Visitors can also see coins, ancient weapons, manuscripts and other fascinating items for free.
Travelers interested in learning more about one of the darkest chapters in Amritsar's history can head to Jallianwala Bagh, a public garden that was the site of a massacre in 1919. The park is now home to a memorial to the thousands of people who were killed or wounded.
More memorable spectacles and experiences are on offer at Mata Temple, a Hindu cave temple devoted to the 20th-century saint Lal Devi. Women hoping to become pregnant often visit the complex, navigating shallow waterways, low tunnels, staircases and hallways to reach the main shrine.
Some of Amritsar's most picturesque sights can be found in the Ram Bagh park, which was named in tribute to the guru who founded the city.
The gardens, which are located in the new part of town, encompass features including an elaborate panorama celebrating the achievements of Sikh maharaja Ranjit Singh, who was known as the Lion of Punjab.
