Amritsar, located in the state of Punjab, literally means a pool of Nectar.
This cities claim to fame is the GOLDEN TEMPLE, the most holiest and most sacred place for those of the Sikh religion. The magnifecence and spiritualtiy of this great place is felt by all. The Golden Temple is defintiely a place I could visit over and over, being that I am of the Sikh faith. I believe that even if you are not a Sikh you will equally enjoy and be fascinated by the temple.
Amritsar also happens to be my place of birth. I'm very honored that I was born in such a holy and spiritual city. Although I was only in Amritsar for a few months before immigrating to the United States, I do feel a special connection to this city.
Amritsar is also known for its great food. While there, make sure you check out some of the great local eateries. I recommend Brothers (listed in my restaurant tips section). |

Pinat Sat Aug 8, 2009 07:16 UTC Isn't it wonderful to trace back your roots and find things that make you once again believe that you belong there?!? We did it for my husband two years ago. And Amritsar, seems like a little peace of heaven! | sennaya Sat Feb 16, 2008 11:19 UTC wow, never saw somethinf like it! | Marianne2 Thu May 17, 2007 23:44 UTC Hi, I just read your comment as it popped up on the VT home site.
