This city soon became well-known and the name was later changed to Amritsar. After its development, it emerged as a major trade centre in the region. To establish the base, Guru Ram Das had brought people from 52 trades and asked them to settle here. On his call, artisans and craftsmen settled and took to trading. And these centuries-old bazaars still continue to bloom.
