Just wanted to inform my friends here that I just visitedAmritsar-ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਸਰ in this February.
Amritsar is 32 kilometres east of Lahore, Pakistan and therefore, very close to India's western border with Pakistan

You all must be knowing that Golden Temple: ਹਰਿਮੰਦਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ or Harmandir Sahib is located there and its culturally the most significant place of worship of the Sikhs and one of the oldest Sikh gurdwaras. This temple was established by Guru Ram Das Ji, the fourth guru of the Sikhs, and is, also due to the shrine, known as Guru Di Nagri meaning city of the Guru.
Harmandir Sahib was built with four doors to show that every religion or faith is allowed to go in to meditate or just listen to the prayers for peace. It was originally built during AD 1574, the site of the temple was surrounded by a small lake. and due to this lake the city name is called Amritsar meaning "pool of the Nectar of Immortality".

This important Sikh shrine attracts more visitors than the Taj Mahal in Agra and is the number one destination for non-resident-Indians (NRI) in the whole of India.
