QUOTE (simione @ Aug 14 2008, 05:07 PM) Amritsar ? Well done, simione.

The 2001 Indian census reported the population of the city to be over 1,500,000, and that of the entire district to number just over 3,695,077. Amritsar is located in the northwestern part of India in the State of Punjab, 32 miles (51 km) east of Lahore, Pakistan. Some have taken the name Amritsar to derive from Am—it-saagar, meaning "The Ocean of the Nectar of Immortality". It is home to the Harimandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple, and is the spiritual and cultural center of the Sikh religion. The correct answer is Amritsar.
