Amritsar
Golden temple at Amritsar
is a must visit place for all Sikhs at least once in lifetime. The temple in the centre of sarovar is
awesome. The only rule here is to remove
footwear and cover the head. Hand bags
can be carried; photographs can be taken outside the temple. But some people have taken pictures in the
corridor leading into the temple which is also prohibited. I felt happy that there is no frisking here.
We have visited the museum here which has many portraits,
paintings depicting the lives and struggles of Sikh gurus and arms and
armour. At the temple the service is
voluntary. I have seen a young girl who
picked the broom and swept the surroundings as service to God.
Wagah Border
Wagah border is about 30KM from Amritsar . Tourists who visit Punjab
will visit Golden temple and Wagah border without fail. The parade at the border by the BSF on either
side, India and
Pakistan , is chivalrous. The patriotic songs played and the dances will ignite
patriotism. Watching the parade is
unforgettable experience.Patriotic fervour is best experienced than expressed in words.
Jai Hind
