Khadur Sahib
Tarn Taran, Punjab
Guru Angad Dev's town where Gurmukhi script was perfected — eight gurudwaras and seva-green streets by the Beas riverlands.

Gurudwara Baba Atal
Amritsar, Punjab
A nine-storey octagonal tower — Amritsar's tallest old building — honouring Guru Hargobind's son Atal Rai, with rare Sikh murals inside.

Jallianwala Bagh
Amritsar, Punjab
The walled garden where, on Baisakhi 1919, General Dyer's troops fired on an unarmed gathering — bullet marks still scar the walls and the Martyrs' Well stands as silent witness. Now a memorial of flame-shaped sandstone, galleries and an eternal flame beside the Golden Temple.

Golden Temple
Amritsar, Punjab
Sri Harmandir Sahib floats on its sacred pool in a shimmer of gold — Sikhism's holiest shrine, ringed by white marble parikrama and open to every human being. The world's largest free kitchen serves langar to up to 100,000 people a day, and the temple glowing over the Amrit Sarovar at night is one of India's great sights.

Partition Museum Amritsar
Amritsar, Punjab
The world's first Partition museum, in the Town Hall — oral histories, refugee objects and the Tree of Hope telling 1947's fourteen million stories.

Gobindgarh Fort
Amritsar, Punjab
Maharaja Ranjit Singh's city fort where the Koh-i-Noor was once vaulted — now a live-museum of Sikh martial history, 7D shows and Punjabi food courts.

Durgiana Temple
Amritsar, Punjab
The 'Silver Temple' — a Lakshmi-Narayan shrine mirroring the Golden Temple's sarovar design, its carved silver doors glowing over holy water.
Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum
Amritsar, Punjab
The Lion of Punjab's summer palace in Ram Bagh gardens — armour, miniatures and the panorama hall of his battles nearby.

Tarn Taran, Punjab
Sikhism's first great pilgrimage centre — Guru Amar Das's 84-step baoli, each step a recitation of Japji Sahib toward liberation.
Khalsa College Amritsar
Amritsar, Punjab
The 1892 Indo-Saracenic masterpiece of Sikh education — a domed sandstone façade so grand it stars in half of Punjabi cinema.
