Travel Information
 Amritsar
- the holy city of Sikhs, has grown from a sacred village pond into a
spiritual temporal centre of Sikh culture. The city gets its name from
the pool-Amritsar (Pool of Nectar), which was constructed by the fourth
religious preceptor of the Sikh faith. It also lies on the Asian Highway.
It is also the city where Jaliyan-wala-bagh, the garden where scores of
innocent Indian men, women, children were massacred by the British. Events
of such magnitude catalysed the struggle for Indian independence.
