  • Description

    The Golden Temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib, is a revered Sikh shrine located in Amritsar, Punjab, India. It is a symbol of spiritual and cultural significance for Sikhs worldwide. Pilgrims and visitors from diverse backgrounds come to pay their respects, partake in the Langar (community kitchen) offering free meals to all, and experience the religious and architectural beauty of this iconic place of worship. 

    The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre, took place on April 13, 1919, in Amritsar, India, during British colonial rule. British troops, under the command of General Reginald Dyer, opened fire on a crowd of unarmed Indian civilians who had gathered in Jallianwala Bagh, a public garden, to protest the repressive Rowlatt Act. 

    The Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum in Amritsar is a tribute to Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the founder of the Sikh Empire. Located within the Ram Bagh Palace complex, the museum houses a collection of artifacts, paintings, and personal belongings that provide insights into the life and achievements of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

    Wagah Border is a border crossing between India and Pakistan, located near the cities of Amritsar in India and Lahore in Pakistan. It is known for the daily Wagah-Attari border ceremony, a military tradition where soldiers from both countries engage in an elaborate and choreographed display of patriotism, which includes high kicks and aggressive marching.
