The city was founded in 1577 by the fourth Guru Ram Das. Since then, Amritsar has transformed itself into an advanced metropolis; however, it still holds its traditional roots close to its heart. The locals of Amritsar are deeply devoted to their cultures and are considered as extremely welcoming.
Start your holidays to Amritsar by visiting the Golden Temple, a majestic Gurudwara. Devotees visit here in streams irrespective of their caste, creed, community, race, gender and ethnicity. Golden Temple is made of spectacular marble work engraved with flower and animal motifs. The second level of the Gurudwara has been capsuled in gold panels and a real gold dome acts as the main highlight of this religious spot.
