Amritsar
 
     
Location
 
   
Amritsar is 280 miles from Delhi and only 16 miles from Wagha, an outpost of the Indo-Pakistan border. With a population of about 4,00,000 and a number of educational institutions, business enterprises, industrial concerns, banks, hotels, parks and restaurants, Amritsar still remains the largest and the most important city of Punjab.  
   
Golden Temple  
   
The original name of Golden Temple is Harmandir Sahib and the its construction was started by the fourth Sikh Guru, Guru Ram Das and completed by the fifth Guru, Arjan Dev.The Islamic style of architecture makes the interior of the temple beautiful. Baishakhi is celebrated in a grand way at the Amritsar Temple during the second week of April. You must not enter the temple premises with your shoes; there is pool where one needs to wash their feet before entering the temple. One of the most important rule here is to cover your head entering the temple premises. Sunrise and sunset at the Golden Temple is a beautiful view. This temple is a pilgrimage center for Sikhs but people from different religions also visit this place.
 
   
Jalianwala Bagh  
   
Famous for the massacre by General Dyer during British rule, Jalianwala Bagh today is visited by several tourists in Punjab. Located near the Golden Temple, it saw series of bullet shots and blood shed on the day of Baishakhi on 13 April, 1919 when under the supervision of General Dyer, hundreds of unarmed Indian men, women and children were shot without warning. Today Jalianwala Bagh has become a tourist center but you can still see the marks of bullet on the wall.
 
   
Wagah Border:  
   
The retreat ceremony during sunset is the main reason for tourists to visit the Wagah Border. Bordering India and Pakistan, armed soldiers in a parade lower the flag and close the gate. The event takes place in the evening and you can see people from both the country shouting to boost up the energy and to cheer their nation.
