People are counting on these religious places like Ayodhya, Mathura, Varanasi, Haridwar and still counting. But Sikhs always consider to look at only one stop i.e., AMRITSAR which is being considered as the most holistic place of Punjab. And now different people belonging to different gender, religion, castes, city, states come to ask Lord for the good.

Kesar da dhaba
It is the only place where I had lassi and I became the fan of it. It provides you the proper Punjabi food with hell lot of spices, ghee and salad in it but trust me or not it will give you the immense pleasure when you will have it. Your taste buds will start dancing and you will eat it as if you will never gonna had such kind of food in your life again. This is one of my favourite spot to have food in Amritsar. Do grab some food there if you go, you can’t afford to miss this chance at all.

Chura market
It is not mandatory that if a girl is married or going to be married can only wear Chura. The Chura market near Golden temple is though famous for Suhag Chura but the bachelor girls can also go and try different bangles, Chura and stuff for themselves. When I went to that market I was so impressed with the colors, designs, and the most interesting thing which I had discovered there at that time was that that the Suhag Chura was engraved the names of the grooms on it.

Kalian wala khu (Well of blacks)
This is another holy place for the theists in Ajnala, Amritsar. This place has its own history which is still buried in that well. The remains of the martyrs of 1857 revolt are still there. There is a Gurudwara just near this well. I went there too to see that place where our brave fighters are buried with deceit. You should go there and watch out that How people are protecting that place and keeping that history, the sacrifice of those soldiers still alive.
