Amritsar is in Punjab state in North India and is the spiritual capital of the Sikh religion. City was founded by Ram Das, the fourth guru, on land given by Akbar in 1577. The city houses the holiest place for the Sikhs, The Golden Temple. They try at least to visit the temple and bathe in the large pool (sarovar) that surrounds the temple when possible. Amritsar is the Administrative Centre and a trade cum industrial city where carpets, fabrics of goat hair, and handicrafts are made. It lies on the main GT road from Chandigarh to Jalandhar to Amritsar to Lahore, Pakistan. Lahore, which was the historic capital of the pre-partition Punjab is about 50 Km west of Amritsar.
The Punjab region has seen many revolts and most of them had Amritsar as their pivotal point.
