Home of the glorious Golden Temple the iconic city of Amritsar, portrays the heroic character of the Punjab. A day in this peaceful city starts with the spiritual prayers from Gurudwaras. The original name of first the ancient lake, then of the temple complex, and later the surrounding city, meaning “pool of ambrosial nectar.”
Amritsar is the spiritual and cultural Centre of the Sikh Religion. Baisakhi festival brings out Amritsar’s resplendent face with its finest food, clothes, and merry-making. This place is also famous for its Jallianwala Bagh massacre and its proximity to Wagah Border. The satiating food and generous dollops of legendary Punjabi hospitality further connive to cast a spell upon the visitor. From the Operation Blue Star in the Golden Temple to the tragedy of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, Amritsar has seen the worst of situations and yet emerged like a phoenix through testing times. Amritsar today is a thriving city with active trade and tourism industries. One of the most agriculturally productive cities of India, Amritsar is well connected with most of the important cities of India.

Legend has it that during the excavation, a yogi (saint) called Santokha was found meditating at the spot by the Guru. He is said to have died soon after telling Guru Ram Das that he had been meditating for a long time, awaiting salvation. The tank takes its name from him and was completed in 1643 by the fit Guru, Arjan Dev. Overnight stay at hotel.

He used this spot to organize his followers along military lines following skirmishes with the Mughals, and also to provide them religious and spiritual guidance. As the Guru used his wisdom (bibek) to answer the questions of his followers, the Sarovar came to be known as Bibeksar. Maharaja Ranjit Singh built the gurdwara we see here today in 1628.

After breakfast in the morning, our representative will drive you to the next serovar it is the smallest of the fie sarovars, this site marks the exact location of the formal beginning of the Sikh scriptures, making it especially significant for Sikhs. Guru Arjun Dev, who was looking for a quiet spot away from the growing city of Amritsar, chose this site to give form to the Guru Granth Sahib. In 1602 to make the surroundings more agreeable, he had a small tank dug up and named it ‘Ramsar’ after his father Guru Ram Das. Located near the Chatiwind Gate on the southwestern side of the walled city of Amritsar, it is believed that the Sukhmani Sahib (the “Psalm of Peace”) was composed here by Guru Arjan Dev. Once he finished the compilation of the holy book in 1604, he is said to have carried it on his head to Sri Harimandar Sahib for the installation. This path was named Guru Granth Sahib Marg to mark the 400th anniversary of the installation of the Granth Sahib at the Golden Temple. Pilgrims often walk barefoot from Ramsar Sarovar to Amrit Sarovar to honor Guru Arjan Dev’s walk many centuries ago. Overnight stay at hotel.

A highly spiritual woman, she was above religious divides and took refuge with the sixth Guru, Sri Hargobind, at Amritsar. Her samadh lies at the western end of the Kaulsar Sarovar. The significance of Gurdwara Mata Kaulan and Kaulsar Sarovar can be judged from the fact that Guru Hargobind directed devotees to take a dip in Kaulsar before the Amrit Sarovar at Harimandar Sahib.
