Amritsar is home to Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple, the spiritual and cultural center of the Sikh religion. 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. Amritsar is considered important and holy by Hindus as well. Bhagvan
Valmiki's or Nirankar Valmiki's ashram was considered to have been situated close to Amritsar, where Goddess Sita, wife of Lord Rama gave birth to Lava and Kush. The forest around the ashram was considered Valmiki's "Tapo van" (forest of meditation). Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh are considered incarnations of Lava and Kush as stated in the shri sooraj parkash granth. The Durgaina temple is also a very famous Hindu temple located on the city.
Amritsar is also known for the incidents of Jallianwala Bagh Massacre in 1919 under British Rule and Operation Bluestar in 1984 under the late Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi.
