The 10 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Amritsar, Punjab
Amritsar is a major commercial and cultural centre in the heart of Punjab. The city is the spiritual and cultural center of the Sikh religion and is home to the Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple. Respectfully marvel at the Indian and Pakistani soldiers who march-off nightly at the Wagha Border, and at the Jallian Wala Bagh the site of the 1919 Amritsar Massacre in 1919.

Loved this store. Best shopping experience I had in India. Unique handicrafts (not normal mass-produced trinkets). Fell in love with a piece of furniture which was shipped and delivered exactly as promised. Not a standard tourist shop but place to explore and invest in higher quality pieces.

The world's first Partition Museum is now open at the historic Town Hall building in Amritsar. The Partition of India was one of the most defining events in the nation's history. It was perhaps the largest migration in human history, with some 18 million affected. The Museum is part of the newly inaugurated Heritage Street at Amritsar, which starts at the Golden Temple and ends at the Town Hall.

Everyone who is visiting Amritsar, I recommend this place to you. This place gives us insights that are unknown to many minds. When I saw the pictures depicting dead people lying in the streets of Bengal, I couldn't take it. It shows that in the greed of power, sufferers are common people like us. I got to read many Diaries of wartime generals, original archives of pre-independence era and the letters from both sides of India & Pakistan between friends. It could melt any heart, just by reading those letters which were written in the cold lifeless words.

Punjab is the sword arm of the country and has been on the invasion route to the heartland of India since, the beginning of the recorded history. Punjab State War Heroes Memorial & Museum, The memorial museum is directed to showcase the fabulous gallantry deeds of the brave-hearts of Punjab. It is planned to immortalize the deeds of brave soldiers and to inspire and infuse the spirit of patriotism in the youth. This place not only gives information but plays homage to the brave-hearts of the state. This memorial has silicone statues of the brave-hearts, notes on their bravery & achievements and a virtual depiction of the actual battle scenes. The beautiful structure has 45 m high stainless steel sword, representing the strength and courage of the people of Punjab while defending the nation in the hour of need. Names of martyrs are inscribed on the memorial. Apart from the memorial, the campus exhibits pictures of the brave soldiers, their brief bio-data, a MiG-23 and a model of the decommissioned aircraft carrier ship, INS Vikrant, three tanks have also been displayed - a 'Sherman' Pakistani tank which was captured in 1965 by India's 7th Light Cavalry, a Pakistani 'Patton' tank that the Indian Army secured in 1971 and India's Centurion Tank that figured prominently in the 1965 and 1971 Wars. A mural also has been built to commemorate the Battle of Saragarhi and the names of the 21 Sikh martyrs of the battle have been engraved on it. The campus also has a 7D auditorium, facilitating an almost realistic experience of different war zones. One cannot leave this place without feeling thankful for the sacrifices. What brave souls, what sacrifices, what achievements and what passion for the Nation!!!! Amazing!!! A must visit. I hope every state in India comes up with such a memorial to pay homage to their martyrs and war heroes.
