Khalsa College Amritsar

This vast, sprawling castle of a college, on your right as you head west of town along GT Rd, was founded in 1890 to educate the cream of Punjabi society. It’s a glorious example of the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture, with an imposing domed red-sandstone facade fronted by grassy fields. You can't enter the academic and administrative wings of the college, but exploring the campus is okay.
