Amritsar - The City Of Sikhs
Are you planning to visit Amritsar for the first time in your life? This squidoo lens is about Holy City of Amritsar and what to do in Amritsar. I will tell you about my favourite places and things to do. I will include best links on web, photos and blogs.
Please leave comments about your favorite places in Amritsar
Golden Temple
Did you know that Golden Temple attracts more visitors than Taj Mahal? Harmandar Sahib is a heart of Sikhism. As soon as you enter the Golden Temple, feeling of peace and tranquility will be with you. There is something about this place I can't describe... you have to feel it. This place is open to all religions and races.
You need to try Langar
Fascinating
My suggestion is to experience and observe the Langar. You can have langar in any gurudwara in any part of the world. Why? I'm fascinated by the idea of free meals for all classes of people. It's not that I'm interested in food...
Experience the old streets of Amritsar.
Old Amritsar...Please have a gprs with you
These part of the city is untouched for many centuries...experience the history of city... If you are architecture lover there are a lot of beautiful buildings.
As well it's a place for your shopping. Visit Guru bazar (Gold market), steel, chana, masala markets... Good time pass!

Experience the traffic of the city...
Hire auto rickshaw or pedal rickshaw (I prefer second)...It's amazing the way the drive those things... You will have a chance to see the busy life of Amritsar...
Nihang Singhs
The warriors of Punjab
"Nihang Singhs belong to a martial tradition begun by the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh. Their way of life, style of dress, and weaponry has remained little changed since the Guru's lifetime, three hundred years ago. Today, some Punjabis see them as a relic of a time long past, but others recognize Nihangs as a colourful and important part of Punjabi heritage." Definition from Sikhnet.
Sweets
My friends started calling me Kaju Monster after I tried Kaju Barfi
6. Kaju Barfi is an Indian dessert. Kaju means Cashew nuts and Barfi is a type of Indian sweet. Barfi is often but not always, made by thickening milk with sugar and other ingredients. It is then spread in a flat, shallow dish and cut into bite-sized pieces. These pieces are sometimes decorated with edible silver foil.Best Kaju you can buy in Bikaner Sweets Shop. Yummy!

- No, I've never been to Amritsar but have heard of it. It has a romantic sounding name, I think! It also looks like an amazing place to visit.
