Punjab state city near the Pakistani border — anchored by the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple), the Sikh religion's most sacred site, and the Wagah Border ceremony (the daily flag-lowering ritual at the India-Pakistan land border, 30km west). The walled old city around the Golden Temple is the dense walkable historic core. Same India e-Tourist visa story. The structural draws are Sikh-cultural density (the Golden Temple's langar feeds 100,000+ pilgrims daily, free), deep Punjabi food culture, and the Wagah Border spectacle. Winter air quality (October-February crop burning) is a real filter.
