AMRITSAR: Amritsar means Tank of Nectar: Long ago, the present city of
Amritsar was dense forest with a pool in it. Several villages fringed the forest.
Many legendary and mythological references are attached to this land. It is
said that Lord Rama had fought a battle with his sons, Luv and Kush at this
place in which whole of Lord Rama's army was destroyed. At that time a jug of
nectar descended from heaven to restore the soldiers to life. Maharaja Ranjit
Singh (1780-1839), the Lion of Punjab, who was able to merge all the Misals
into one single unit under his sole control arranged development of Amritsar
in a big way. He made Amritsar as the summer capital of his regime. Maharaja
Ranjit Singh got the domes of the holy temple gold-plated and from thence the
temple became famous as the "Golden Temple".
It
is Amritsar where the smouldering surge of Independence of our country burst
into a full fledged "Flame of Liberty" in the form of Jallianwala
Bagh massacre in which about two thousand people were killed.
