Durgiana Temple Tour Packages

Located in the spiritual heart of Amritsar, the Durgiana Temple—also known as the Lakshmi Narayan Temple—is a shimmering jewel in Punjab’s cultural and religious heritage.

Nestled beside a sacred water tank and surrounded by marble walkways, the temple exudes peace and spiritual energy. Whether you’re a devotee, a history buff, or a curious traveler, a visit to Durgiana Temple is a profound experience that connects you with India’s enduring religious traditions.
