Amritsar is a city in the Punjab state in India, close to the border with Pakistan. The Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple), a spiritual center of Sikhism, stands in a dramatic reflecting pool at the heart of an ancient and drama-soaked past with its history of military and political aggressions. 

Modern development is transforming the city and its recently rural surroundings.
