Top Places to Visit in Amritsar
1. Golden Temple (Sri Harmandir Sahib)
The Golden Temple is the holiest shrine of Sikhism and one of the most spiritually charged places on earth. The gold-plated Harmandir Sahib sits in the middle of the holy Amrit Sarovar (Pool of Nectar), and the temple is open to all faiths. Don’t miss the langar — the world’s largest free community kitchen serving 100,000+ meals daily.
Best time: Pre-dawn (4-5 AM) for the Palki Sahib ceremony, or after sunset for the floodlit golden glow on the sarovar. Free entry, 24×7. Head covering required (cloths available at entry).
