Amritsar Travel
Amritsar
at distance of about 450 kms from Delhi is the largest and most important
cosmopolitan city of Punjab. Guru Ramdas Sahib, the fourth Guru of the Sikhs,
founded the city in late 16th century. He is also credited with laying the
foundation of the most revered of the shrines.
Later, it was the fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Sahib, who envisioned and executed
greater expansion and beautification of the shrine and the town. The aura
of Golden Temple cannot be explained in words. The spiritual solace that
it provides can be gauged from the daily visit by thousands of people.
