The only culture Punjab knows is Agriculture, it is often joked. This is fast changing. Right inside the Golden Temple Complex, gataka or Sikh martial art performances are held every day. The venue is the roof of the Guru Ka Langar building. On GT Road near Khalsa College is the Naatshala, with a unique revolving stage. It hosts weekend plays and concerts. Besides these, independent local organisations hold musical evenings, especially Punjabi Pop concerts. The city listings of any local daily will give you the details.

If you are an owl who wants to party and stay out late, Amritsar is not the city for you. After a hard day's work, the natives down a few pegs enjoy a hearty meal, and their sleep is precious to them. Among the limited options for some night-time action is Balle Bowl, a small food court with a bar that serves beer, wine, fresh juice and mocktails. A bowling alley, some snooker tables and a few video games have also been placed here. If interested in food, then place you order before 11 pm or be ready to be turned away. Balle Bowl is at:
SCO 50-51, District Shopping Centre
Ranjit Avenue, Block B

Take the kids out to the Ram Bagh. This garden with its art museum is one of the best places to relax. The kids can roam around and play in the sprawling garden. If you are looking for an educative and inspiring experience for your children, a drive to the Wagah border to see the 'closing the border' parade would be well worth an evening.
A trip to the Jallianwala Bagh, with its martyrs? memorial on the eastern end and the wells, is another place of history that we recommend young people to visit. A trip to the Martyr's Gallery here is open from 9 am to 5 pm in summer and from 10 am to 4 pm during winter.
