Amritsar

Amritsar is the spiritual capital of the Sikh religion. The city houses the holiest place for the Sikhs, The Golden Temple. They try at least to visit the temple and bathe in the large pool (sarovar) that surrounds the temple when possible. The Punjab region has seen many revolts and most of them had Amritsar as their pivotal point, the city is relaxing for visitors when compared with other Indian cities. The people are very friendly and it is great to sit for a few hours in the shade of the temple and to relax.
