4 Incredible Points of Interest in Amritsar, India Other than the Golden Temple

[HappyEasyGo]

The Golden Temple has always been the most sought-after attractions in Amritsar. A trip to the holy shrine, Wagah border and Jallianwala Bagh is synonymous with an Amritsar holiday. But there is more to the Golden City than what meets the eye. Check out:

Gobindgarh Fort

Steeped in history, Gobindgarh Fort has a heritage of over 250 years. The stunning edifice is not the only thing that draws visitors. Live dance and martial art performances and insightful exhibitions are among the many things that tempt people to visit Gobindgarh Fort.

Durgiana Temple

Also called Lakshmi Sitla Mandir, Durga Tirath and Narayan Temple, Durgiana Temple is among the most revered Hindu shrines in Amritsar. Its intricately carved silver doors have also earned this shrine the nickname, “Silver Temple.”

Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum

Perhaps one of the most underrated and lesser-known tourist attractions in the city of Amritsar, Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum houses rare paintings, coins, weapons and manuscripts, offering visitors a glimpse into the bygone era and the rich heritage of the Sikh religion. On a visit, you will come across a myriad of artefacts belonging to the Sikh ruler. History buffs should be booking cheap flight tickets to Amritsar already.

Ram Teerath

Approximately 15 km from the city centre of Amritsar is another highly revered shrine called Ram Teerath. Like the other points of interest in the city, this place also has an intriguing story. Many believe that this is the place where the two sons of Lord Rama, Luv and Kush, were born and received lessons from Sage Valmiki.
