Panj Sarovar walk will take you through the legends behind the five prominent sacred pools (sarovar) in Amritsar, along with the insights into evolution of Sikhism. The walk will cover Santokhsar Sarovar, which is the first sarovar in the history of Sikhism. Bibeksar Sarovar is associated with the sixth guru of Sikh, Sri Hargobind. Ramsar Sarovarm is the smallest sacred pool amongst five but signifies the exact location of the formal beginning of the Sikh scriptures. Kaulsar Sarovar is named after a Muslim lady, Bibi Kaulan.
