What to expect
This historic garden is a memorial to the 1919 massacre where British troops, under General Dyer, killed over 1,000 unarmed Indian civilians. It stands as a poignant reminder of India’s struggle for independence.
The holiest site in Sikhism, the Golden Temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib, is renowned for its stunning golden architecture and serene atmosphere. It was founded by Guru Ram Das in 1577 and later adorned with gold by Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
Saragarhi Memorial Gurudwara - Amritsar, Punjab, India
This Gurudwara commemorates the Battle of Saragarhi, where 21 Sikh soldiers of the British Indian Army bravely fought against thousands of Afghan tribesmen in 1897, making it one of history’s most heroic last stands.
Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum
This museum is dedicated to Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the founder of the Sikh Empire. It houses artifacts, paintings, and exhibits that highlight his life, military prowess, and the unification of the Sikh misls into a powerful empire.
The Wagah Border is famous for its daily military ceremony, the Beating Retreat, performed by Indian and Pakistani soldiers. It’s a vibrant display of patriotism and a unique experience of the border dynamics between the two nations.
Durgiana Temple
Often compared to the Golden Temple due to its similar architecture, the Durgiana Temple is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Durga. It is a significant pilgrimage site for Hindus and showcases beautiful carvings and a serene pond.
