Chandigarh is one of the most beautiful cities of Punjab. It is one of the union territories of India and also the joint capital of Punjab and Haryana. Chandigarh has a lot of historical stories and with historical stories comes historical sites. Le Corbusier, a well-known French architect, designed Chandigarh, the ideal city that Sh.

Among historic cities, Amritsar remains both unique, exclusive, vibrant and hospitable. Known as the religious , political, economic, social capital of the state of Punjab, Amritsar finds place in all the spheres of human operations. Known as a Khandani City, with wonderful cuisine, rich social fabric and culture, Amritsar has always given best to its inhabitants and the visitors. Despite numerous positivity, Amritsar remains in crisis ie crisis of invasion from outside, crisis of politics, crisis of religion and crisis of unplanned development. Despite numerous crises, city has stood the test of time , never ever losing its vibrance, creativity, vigour and hospitality. Growing from a small village, Guru ka Chak/Chak Guru Ram Das, Amritsar has emerged as the focal point of Sikh faith .It is rightly called Sifti da Ghar (The Home of all virtues). During its journey of more than four centuries, Amritsar has emerges as the premier city of the state. Known as City of Golden Temple, Amritsar symbolizes the spiritual heritage of the people of Punjab. Presence of Golden Temple and Jallianwala Bagh has given a unique place to this dynamic and vibrant city in the history of the state and the nation. Housing enormous wealth of heritage ,created over the years, Walled city remains the most vibrant space besides being the heartbeat of the city.

Pressure is more pronounced within the walled city which houses most of the valuable heritage. Rationalizing the developmental pressures, promoting orderly development and maintaining culture and urban fabric , would be hold key to the future of the city and its position in the state and nation- as the home of all virtues, heartbeat of majha and repository of spiritual and national heritage

Amritsar- A City of Myths and Reality - Copy.docJIT KUMAR GUPTA
India with one of the longest histories of human habitation and civilization spanning over a period of 5000 years has been fortunate to inherit enormous wealth of built heritage. If India has inherited enormous wealth of built heritage, State of Punjab in general and Amritsar city in particular has also followed the footprints of the great nation and state. With history spanning over 433 years, Amritsar has emerged as the premier city of the state of Punjab and is known as its economic capital. Presence of Golden Temple and Jallianwala Bagh has given a unique place to this dynamic and vibrant city of Amritsar in the history of the state and the nation. Growing from a small village, Guru ka Chak/Chak Guru Ram Das, Amritsar has emerged as the focal point of Sikh faith and is rightly called Sifti da Ghar (The Home of all virtues). During its journey of last 433 years, Amritsar is known, as not only its economic but also religious and political capital of the state of Punjab. City of Golden Temple, also symbolizes the spiritual heritage of the people of Punjab. Paper looks at the enormous cultural, religion and humane virtues City of Amritsar holds, challenges faced by it in growth and development and options which can be leveraged to make growth of Amritsar rational, realistic, sustainable and inclusive.
Heritage is valued globally and locally, for its value, impact, context and contribution it makes to a place and human settlements. Cities and settlements, with history and resources, remain valuable cultural resources. Such cities showcase a wide diversity in their morphology. Being products of different geographical contexts, specific historic times, characteristics and functions, such cities embody numerous “Systems” /“Sub-systems” with definite structures and hierarchies, performing their specific roles but operating together in an urban spatial entity. Planning, development and management of such cities have to be carried out with sensitivity, care and caution. The historic cities have to be viewed, both as source and repository of architectural and technical knowledge, for rediscovering, defining and describing the historicity of city and its heritage. Accordingly, history, geography, morphology and cultural components of Amritsar heritage need careful study and analysis before solutions for its preservation and conservation are put in place. Numerous development schemes are already in the process of implementation/in the pipeline. These schemes need study analysis and evaluation for their impact on valuable heritage. Considering the present political, economic and developmental scenario, Amritsar is witnessing a new resurgent era of enormous growth and development with lot of investment and people coming into the city. Real estate values are rising sharply resulting in rapid conversion of land uses and enormous development pressure on the city and its existing inadequate infrastructure. The pressure remains more pronounced within the walled city which houses large proportion of the valuable heritage. How these developmental pressures are rationalized /channelized for promoting the orderly growth and development of the city and its heritage, would hold the key to the future of the city as the home of all virtues, heartbeat of majha and repository of spiritual and national heritage.

Most Impressive Building

Masjid of Thatta is a 17th-century building that
serves as the central mosque for the city of Thatta,
in the Pakistani province of Sindh. The mosque is
considered to have the most elaborate display of
tile work in South Asia and is also notable for its
geometric brick work - a decorative element that is
unusual for Mughal-period mosques. It was built
during the reign of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan,
who bestowed it to the city as a token of gratitude,
and is heavily influenced by Central Asian
architecture - a reflection of Shah Jahan's
campaigns near Samarkand shortly before the
mosque was designed.
