About Golden Temple :- The land of the Golden Temple and the Mecca of Sikhs all over the world, Amritsar derives its name from the pool surrounding Golden Temple called Harmandir Saheb, which means the 'pool of nectar'. Amritsar is home to many temples - Durgiana Mandir and Mata Mandir, which draws an ardent lot of Hindu devotees. Also seeped in history, Amritsar's Jallianwala Bagh, is a famous place where hundreds of Indians lost their lives during India's war of independence.
Places to See in Amritsar:- Most of the places in Amritsar hold religious or historical importance. Golden Temple, the prime attraction of Amritsar has beautifully decorated shrines in terms of art and architecture and is characterised by its four entrances or deoris. The striking sanctum is always filled with readings from the Guru Granth Sahib, marble pathways and pavements and the shimmering water of the lake makes the temple look gorgeous, especially in the evenings. Dedicated to Goddess Durga, the Durgiana Mandir was built around the 16th century AD and stands in the centre of a small lake, painting a beautiful picture.
Places to Eat in Amritsar:- The galis of Amritsar are redolent with the aromas of dhabas serving tandoori chicken, pakodas, lassi, namkeen and mithais. The bazaar around the Gurdwara is famous for the Amritsari Kulche, Vadiyan and Phirni. More than anything else, the langar/ kadi prashad offered at the Golden Temple is the most delicious thing in the world and no matter how much you eat it, it just leaves you craving for more.
Things to Do in Amritsar:- Here's a chance to absolve your sins. On your visit to the Golden Temple, take a dip in the holy Harmandir Saheb, do the usual rounds around the lake and participate in kar seva - work in the temple complex. Choose from sweeping the pavements, to cooking and serving food to washing the utensils served in the langar. It is a beautiful feeling and you should not let go of this golden opportunity. Shopping and eating are pretty much the other things that you can do here.
Shopping in Amritsar:- Jootis is the thing to buy when in Amritsar. The beautifully embroidered, curled toe slip-ons remain the perennial favourite of the visitors to the city. The Katra Jaimal Singh Bazaar has shops full of the special Amritsari embroidered textiles. It's a field day for women who buy salwar suit lengths and sarees in large numbers. Insist on the Phoolkari dupattas - beautiful colourful thread and glass work dupattas, a speciality of the region. The kadas or the metal bangles worn by all Sikhs are also a must buy from Amritsar. Coming from the factories in and around Amritsar, the export quality hosiery goods are cheap buys from here.
