TOUR OVERVIEW
Situated in the prosperous land of Punjab, ‘Amritsar’ literally means as ‘a pool of ambrosia’. The name comes from the name of a lake ‘Amrit Sarovar’ i.e. ‘lake of ambrosia’ which was constructed in the Tung Village by Guru Ram Das. This city has much cultural importance for Sikhs and Hindus. Well known for its ‘Golden temple’, which really has gold plating, and well remembered for its heart-wrenching tragedy of massacre of the commoners by the British General Dyer at ‘Jallianwala Bagh’, Amritsar is the entrance to Punjab. Amritsar is visited by Sikh pilgrims all over the world.
Other than being a holy and spiritual place, Amritsar in India is one of its most productive cities in terms of agriculture. This agriculturally rich city while known for its Gurudwaras is defined by its farmers, and rightly so. The green revolution in India had begun in Punjab, and it brought prosperity to the farmer. And thus, if one is to divulge into the lifestyle of the Villages in Amritsar, it’ll be filled with agriculture and related activities. Of course, Amritsar is not just about Agriculture. As the people here are involved with agricultural labor, they take their food very seriously, so that their cuisine is much rich. Amritsar
