Following breakfast, begin your city tour with the blessings of Sri Harmandir Sahib, the holiest shrine in Sikhism and the temple of God, also called the Golden Temple in Amritsar. It is named after Hari (God). Guru Arjan, the fifth Sikh guru, constructed it in the sixteenth century. The sacred text of Sikhism, the Adi Granth, was finished by Guru Arjan in 1604. The Harmandir Sahib is accessible through four doors, signifying the Sikhs’ tolerance of all individuals and faiths. The Sarovar, a sizable lake or sacred tank filled with Amrit (holy water), encircles the Gurdwara. The legacy of the Sikhs, who have been gathered for five hundred years, is Sri Harmandir Sahib.
Next, go to Jallianwala Bagh, a monument to the innumerable innocent Indians who were slaughtered by General Dyer on April 13, 1919, which also happened to be “Baisakhi,” one of Punjab’s biggest religious celebrations. An unarmed group of hundreds of men, women, and children were gathered here when British General Edward Dyer gave the order for his troops to open fire. Visit the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum, which is the summer residence of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, after lunch. The beautiful Ram Bagh garden encircles it. One well-known person who has made a name for himself in Indian history is Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Items related to Maharaja Ranjit Singh are on display at the museum, including weapons and armor, exquisite paintings, and manuscripts and coins dating back hundreds of years.
See the Durgiana Temple, one of Punjab’s most important Hindu temples, which is located in Amritsar. This temple is also known as Lakshmi Narayan Temple, and it takes its name from the Goddess Durga. After that, go on to the Mata Lal Devi Temple, a landmark in Amritsar, India’s history. This Hindu temple, located in Rani ka Bagh, was built by a great, devout woman who was inspired by the sacred shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi in Katra (Jammu). Shopping is also possible at Amritsar Market, Katra Jaimal Singh, and Lawrence Road. Go back to the hotel and spend the night at the Amritsar hotel.
