How To Travel - Amritsar To Chandigarh
By: rashmiranjan patil
Amritsar (called Ambarsar in the colloquial language) is a city located in the north-western part of India. It is the holiest place for the followers of Sikh religion, because it is the abode of Harmandir Sahib (which is popularly called the "Golden Temple"), which is the spiritual and cultural headquarters of the Sikhs. It is said that the Golden Temple attracts more visitors than Taj Mahal. It is the most popular destination for Non-resident Indians (NRI) in the whole of India. Amritsar is also the quarters of the Sikh temporal and political authority, Akal Takht, and the Sikh Parliament.
Chandigarh is a Union Territory of India that serves as the capital city of two states - Punjab and Haryana. Chandigarh is known for its well-planned architecture and has made its own mark as an urban city. The city got its name from the two words Chandi and Garh which literally means Fort of Chandi. The name refers to an ancient temple devoted to Goddess Chandi, which was located in the area adjoining the city at ancient times. Nicknamed as the City Beautiful, the master plan of the city was formulated by the French architect Le Corbuiser. The architecture and well-planned design gives the city a unique look.
