Founded in 1577 by the fourth plaka villa Sikh guru, Ram Das, Amritsar is home to Sikhism s holiest shrine, the spectacular Golden plaka villa Temple. The gold-plated gurdwara glitters in the middle of its sacred pool of placid water and draws millions of pilgrims from all over the world. A welcome plaka villa escape from the frenetic bazaars, this gilded temple is rated by many tourists as a glowing highlight of their visit to India. Regrettably, the same can t be said for the hyperactive streets! Indeed, Amritsar s crush of fuming mechanical traffi c, especially in the people-packed old city, can be downright frazzling.
