Taking architectural inspiration from the Golden Temple, the Durgiana Temple is located in the heart of Amritsar. Built in the 16th century, the temple is dedicated to Goddess Durga and is rather popular within the Hindu devotees. The temple is visited the most during the festival of Navratri and is surrounded by holy water, where pilgrims take a dip to cleanse themselves. The interiors, along with other Hindu deities also have scriptures and manuscripts of the Hindu religion as well as intricate carvings of the presiding Goddess Durga in her many forms. The most noticeable thing about the temple, however, is the large doors that are engraved in Silver, giving it the nickname, the Silver Temple. Also, visit the popular attractions in the city by following Amritsar itinerary 3 days.

• The Amritsar railway station is 0.8 km away from the Durgiana Temple, it’s just a short walk away from the Golden Temple.
