Amritsar: The Golden Temple and the Best Food in Punjab
Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
The spiritual heart of Sikhism, the Golden Temple is one of the most moving places in India — its gold sanctum glowing on a sacred pool, its kitchen feeding tens of thousands for free every day.
Beyond the temple
The sobering Jallianwala Bagh and Partition Museum, and the theatrical Wagah Border ceremony at sunset.
Come hungry
Amritsar is a food city — kulcha, lassi, and the temple's own langar, the world's largest community kitchen. A perfect long weekend from Delhi.
