Amritsar, the center of Sikhism, is located at the northern tip of India near the Pakistan border. The landmark of the city is the impressive Golden Temple, the most important shrine of the Sikhs.

Here you will find narrow streets and bazaars with merchants. Neverheless you cannot ignore it: the Golden Temple is the center of this lively city. The temple called Sri Harmandir Sahib is the most important pilgrimage site for the Sikh. The temple stands for brotherhood and equality and everyone who comes there can eat and sleep for free, as long as you take off your shoes and socks and cover your head. Everything is peaceful within the walls of the complex. Visitors bathe in the holy water, eat in the busy halls and of course they visit the Golden Temple.
