Route : Delhi-Amritsar-Delhi
The sacred city of Amritsar embodies the quintessential Punjabi spirit. Here lies the home of the grandest and holiest of Sikh shrines, a rich history, a unique and robust cuisine and flamboyant festivals, which all add to a riot of color and flavor that has no comparison.
Life in Amritsar revolves around the magnificent Golden Temple and the city has grown around it. The Golden Temple is a stunning sight with its golden cupolas and white marble structures. It represents Punjab and all that is good, as well as an indomitable spirit that can never be subdued. The temple was been damaged many times by invading Afghans and Moghuls, scarred by the violence of partition and has seen the restless days that led to Operation Blue-Star. Yet nothing has been able to destroy it. The shrine was re-built every time and life moved on.
