Amritsar, Holy city in Punjab, India
The city spans across the Amritsar district at an elevation of 234 meters, forming a central hub in the Majha region of Punjab state.
Guru Ram Das established Amritsar in 1574 after receiving land from Mughal emperor Akbar to create a religious settlement around a sacred water pool.
The Golden Temple serves thousands of free meals each day through its community kitchen, demonstrating the Sikh principles of service and equal treatment.
The Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport connects Amritsar to major cities, while extensive rail networks facilitate transportation across northern India.
