Things to do in Amritsar, Punjab: The Best Sights & Landmarks

March 3, 2022 Darleen Reid

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.

Khalsa College

Reviewed By manpreetsinghchawla_ - Amritsar, India

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.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh Statue

Reviewed By sureshb414 - Villupuram, India

We visited Amritsar in December 2019 and nearest to Golden Temple is the Dharam Singh Market where you can view some grand architecture and statues - One of which was the redounbtable - pride of Punjab - Maharaja Ranjit Singh Statue. Just looking at the magnificent statue I am sure every Indian gets the pride and feeling of the braveness - not to be missed out
