Begin your journey early in the morning to reach the beautiful and serene Golden Temple in Amritsar. The temple is one of the holiest places for Sikhs and is a remarkable marble and gold structure. The central shrine is surrounded by a water tank that is the main attraction among tourists. The temple runs a 'Langar' system in which free food is provided to all. Spend most of your day at the Golden Temple to witness the peacefulness of the surroundings and the contagious positivity that the temple bears.
After your peaceful day at the Golden Temple, head to Durgiana Temple, shaped much like the Golden Temple but with Hindu gods as its central deities. This Hindu temple is one of the most visited temples in Amritsar and houses idols of Lord Shiva, Lord Krishna, Goddess Durga and Lord Rama. It is ideal to visit in the morning to attend the morning prayers or in the evening to witness the temple in its full glory as it is lit up stunningly. Enthral your iminginations in this astonishingly beautiful place.
To conclude your trip, indulge in shopping in local bazaars and enjoy Amritsar's street cuisine. The best market to visit is 'Hall Bazaar', which is known for its handcrafted items and traditional Punjabi clothing. Do not forget to try the local dhaba food and sweets in the area. They have a distinct and flavourful taste of their own unique from other Indian cities.
If you have more time, you can consider extending your trip to complete a temple tour of Amritsar which would include visiting Ram Tirath Temple and ISKCON temple. You can add a visit to the Wagah Border in your itinerary to witness the intense flag ceremony.
If you have less time, you can consider skipping the Durgiana Temple. Instead, go for a food tour or spend extra time at the Golden Temple.
