INCREDIBLE TOURISM
Punjab Travel
The
most important tourist center in the state is Amritsar
with its Golden Temple. This temple is considered to be the holiest
of all the pilgrimages of Sikhism and houses Akal Takht, the supreme governing
body of Sikhism. The Jalianwallah Bagh is a small park in the city where many
pilgrims were massacred by the British police in the year 1919.
If
Varanasi symbolizes the spirit of ancient India, then Chandigarh
is its city of 'today'. It is the capital of both Punjab and Haryana.
The city is considered to be a Mecca of modern architecture and planning all
over the world. What makes Chandigarh extraordinary is the fact that within
four decades, a barren landscape has been transformed into a modern and model
human habitation. The making of a new city is like inventing a new tomorrow.
And Chandigarh succeeds in ushering in a new dawn. The major attractions of
this city are the Capitol Complex, Secretariat, Assembly, High Court, Open Hand,
City Beautiful, Garden City, Piazza, Tower of Shadows, Geometric Hill, Martyr's
Memorial, Sukhna Lake, Rock Garden, Leisure Valley, Rose Garden, Garden of Tranquility,
Garden of Rare Plants, Garden of Annuals, Bougainvillea Garden, Botanical Garden,
Garden of Aromatic Plants, Government Museum and Art Gallery, Museum of Evolution
of Life, and international Dolls Museum.
