Golden Temple
|
After The trip of Himachal Pradesh our next stop was Punjab, Amritsar. A very wonderful place with full of traditional people and good LASSI.I cant forget the one glass of lassi that we had in Amritsar, it was the most amazing taste. We mainly had three hot spots here GOLDEN TEMPLE, WAGHA BORDER & JALLIANWALA BAGH.

Jalianwala Bagh
|
Our first visit was to Jallianwala Bagh also known as Amritsar massacre. Both Golden Temple and Jallianwala Bagh are near by to each other. I remember all i read in my history books about Jallianwala Bagh.On Sunday April 13, 1919, which happened to be 'Baisakhi', one of Punjab's largest religious festivals, fifty British Indian Army soldiers, commanded by Dyer, began shooting at an unarmed gathering of men, women, and children without warning.Such a tragic event ,there is an art gallery which describes the event that happened there. Still we can see the wall with the bullet marks on them, which were enlightened and now its a peaceful garden. There is a well in the Garden in which many women and children jumped during the tragic event, it is sealed but we can see it.It was such an honor to see such a place and experience to be at such a place.
After the visit of Jallianwala Bagh , we were headed to Golden Temple. It is one of the beautiful temples in India. Temple is located right in center of the pond, there were big big fishes in the pond also.As each place in India has history,this temple also has. There is a painting which depicts an warrior with no head.There was a huge rush for going in to the temple as we were short of time so we just took a round around the temple and came out. But believe once you visit this place you will be thinking of coming more and more due to its peacefulness, atmosphere and those friendly people. It was a very good experience to know other cultures also. And one more important thing is you must wear a cloth on your head as Sikhs if not you wont be allowed to go in, there you will get those for free so not to worry.

Me and Adhok dancing in
Wagha Border
|
Our final stop in Amritsar was Wagha Border.It is the border between India & Pakistan.There will be two gates one is of ours and other one is of there's.There, gates will be opened for a friendly handshakes, during this process each side some patriotic songs will be played. During that time we are allowed to dance in our side and support our side.As you can see me and my friend Adhokshaj are dancing. When you are there we will have a patriotic feeling which was so amazing to experience. On our side nearly thousands of people will come to support which makes us so happy to see and inspires us pretty much. And i thank god for making me an Indian. So proud to be one. In this way we spend nearly two hours of time there by watching all the show and had enjoyed a lot.
So our trip ended there for Punjab...
