Amritsar, Punjab (India)

So, I've stayed in Punjab for like 5 days . This place is amazingly beautiful and so is the food there. I've always loved Punjabi food and I love their culture and tradition . I would like to start with the famous tourist attractions . But I'll only tell about Amritsar as I didn't visit other cities in Punjab.
Punjab is a state bordering Pakistan. It is the heart of Sikh community. The city of Amritsar was founded in the 1570s by Sikh Guru Ram Das.
Guru Ram Das , the fourth Sikh guru is credited with founding the holy city of Amritsar in the Sikh tradition. Two versions of stories exist regarding the land where Ram Das settled. In one based on a Gazetteer record, the land was purchased with Sikh donations, for 700 rupees from the owners of the village of Tung.
