Guide to Amritsar

map
The spiritual centre of Sikhism, Amrtisar is in Punjab, in the north of India. It has a population of 1.5 million inhabitants, and is famously home to the Harmandir Sahib or Golden Temple, an astounding Sikh shrine and can be seen in full glory at night, when it's lit up and reflected in the surrounding waters of Amrit Sarovar. Feed your mind and body in the Golden Temple's library and dining hall, where you can pick up free books on Sikhism and food. The Golden Temple even offers free, basic accommodation for tourists and pilgrims, though it's customary to leave a donation.
