The Ram Tirth zone which is set in the Amritsar district of Punjab, owes its origin to the times of Ramayana. The place has a historical saga which associates it with Devi sita, wife of King Rama, who delivered Luv and Kush here. Also, a hut, believed to be the dwelling place of Maharshi Balmiki, is found in the surrounding area.
Also referred as the Lakshmi Narayan Temple, the Durgiana Mandir in Amritsar was inaugurated by Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya. Resembling the world-famous Golden Temple, the shrine houses a tank, canopies and a dome. The past of the Temple belongs to the era of 20th century.
Established at the tiny village of Khanna, Bhagwathi Mandir is as old as the reigns of 17th century AD. The story of the foundation of this Temple speaks of the dedication of a devotee called Kamalu Bhagat who was once going to the nearby Temple of Jawala Mukhi at Kangra to worship the presiding deity. But on his way, Bhagwati Mata, the sacred Goddess of Kangra, came in front of him and instructed him to build a holy Temple in his village only. This way the building of Bhagwathi Mandir took place in the area.
