Amritsar is synonymous with the Golden Temple, the most revered shrine of the Sikhs. However, this holy place is visited by people of different religious backgrounds. The term Amritsar is derived from two words; 'amrit' meaning nectar of immortality and sarovar meaning pool. Amritsar has several Sikh pilgrimages. Amritsar is the administrative headquarters of the Amritsar district of the state of Punjab. Amritsar holds sheer religious importance for the Hindus also as it is believed that it was the place where Goddess Sita, the consort of Lord Rama, gave birth to twins Lava and Kusha.
