History And Culture
A Brief History
Amritsar, literally Pool of Nectar, derives its name from Amrit Sarovar, the holy tank that surrounds the fabulous Golden Temple. First time visitors to Amritsar could be forgiven for the impression that Amritsar is like any other city in the small northern India. However, Amritsar is well above any other city, state high and sanctified by the presence of the venerable Golden Temple.
