Begin your visit to Amritsar with the Golden Temple. The best time to visit is during the morning when the Guru Granth Sahib is brought to the inner sanctum. Following your prayers, proceed to the langar, the world's largest free kitchen! Every day, volunteers cook and serve a simple meal of dal, roti, sabzi, and kheer to lakhs of devotees. Even if you don't have time for langar, don't skip out on the Kara Prasad. (Image Source: Getty)
