The 10 Best Things to do Good for Kids in Amritsar, Punjab

September 8, 2021 Florencio Paulino

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.

Been there only once, wish would have been there for more time. The Sikh architecture is just spell bounding. This was constructed in the 19th century and its design was created by Bhai Ram Singh Ji. They don't allow video shooting inside from DSLR cameras.

Akal Takht

Reviewed By 762arunkumarg

Situated opposite to the Darshani Deodi( Entrance) of Holy Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar,the temporal seat or" The throne of the timeless" is a pilgrimage none can miss. It was built by Guru Hargobind sahib ,the sixth Sikh Guru. It is the seat of the Head Jathedar( Temporal Head) of Sikhs. It was destroyed and rebuilt many times ,the last time being after Operation Blue star ordered by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Akhal Takhat houses the holy weapons of the tenth Guru Gobind Singh. Every night the holy Guru Granth Sahib is taken in a palanquin ceremoniously from Harmandir Sahib to rest in the Akal Takht and again taken back to Harmandir Sahib in the early morning. The Shabad kirtan at the gurudwara and a look at scriptures gladdens one's heart.

Gurudwara Bir Baba Budha Sahib

Reviewed By ManojSood - Mumbai, India

Baba Buddha Ji had met Guru Nanak when the former was a young boy and asked him profound questions on spiritual matters - life & death. Guru Nanak was so pleased with the maturity of the young boy that he called him "Buddha" or "Old Man / Wise Man" and also gave him the boon of a long life. Baba Buddha Ji lived for 125 years and had the fortune of serving each of the first six Sikh Gurus. He was also appointed as the first Head Priest or Granthi of Golden Temple. It is said that the sixth Guru was born by the blessings of Baba Buddha Ji. Many couples desirous of having children visit this Gurdwara to seek blessings. It is said that those who come here with deep shraddha/faith are indeed blessed. On fulfilment of their wishes, the devout return here to offer Missi Rotis which are consecrated and distributed to all visitors to the Gurudwara. It took us almost an hour's drive to reach here from Amritsar. We wanted to go there early in the morning but were rightly advised for safety's sake to start from Amritsar only after 9 am or so as the road winds its way through the countryside , is not in very good shape & it remains enveloped with fog during winter mornings. The Gurdwara is a serene place. There is a sarovar/pool nearby whose waters are considered to be holy. One can contribute as per one's wish, at a counter at the entrance and a receipt is issued against which Karah Prasad is provided. This Prasad is to be given to a priest, just before entering the gurdwara, who retains part of it as an Offering and gives the rest of it back as the Consecrated Karah Prasad. We enquired about the tradition of offering of Missi Rotis. We were directed to a counter where we were asked to wait for 10-15 minutes. After some time, some people arrived carrying large plastic trays filled with piping hot Missi Rotis. These were the Offerings from some devotees whose wishes had been fulfilled. These offerings were respectfully placed at the counter and were consecrated by uttering a prayer. In the end everyone joined in uttering Waheguru's name. Thereafter, each one of us were given the special prasad of Gurdwara Bir Buddha Sahib - "two Missi Rotis along-with one raw onion". We felt blessed to have witnessed this special ceremony & partaken of the offerings made by a devotee whose wishes had been fulfilled. The gurdwara also has a Langar Hall where one can take Langar prasad sitting down in pangat (line) with others irrespective of caste/creed/stature. You must plan for at least 3 hours in case you are visiting this gurdwara from Amritsar by car.
