we landed in Amithsar after a long journey from matha Vaishno devi temple in Jammu and Kashmir .The Golden Temple is likely to be crowded because it is the most significant Sikh pilgrimage site in the entire world. .
The Golden Temple itself is the one area where you definitely shouldn't take photos, however depending on how long the line is, you might decide against going inside. It actually depends on how long you're willing to wait, but it was extremely atmospheric inside with plenty of sumptuous features and locals attending service.The Golden Temple is open to everyone. You must take off your shoes and put on a headscarf, which is available for loan at the door.
I'd strongly advise going to the Golden Temple at night if you have the chance. Even though there are more photo chances during the day, nighttime is more atmospheric.The Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of the Sikhs, is laid to rest inside the temple at the Palki Sahib ceremony every evening at 9.30 p.m. It's an exciting event to witness as temple guards take the object there as music plays and a crowd gathers.I would advise getting there around 8:00 p.m. In the kitchen, have dinner, and then watch the show.
Not all the things to do in Amritsar are upbeat, as you’ll find out at Jallianwala Bagh. This memorial in the heart of Amritsar is dedicated to the hundreds of Indians who were brutally massacred at the hands of the British, all for holding a peaceful protest. My blood boils to think about this. Indians come from far and wide to pay their respects at Jallianwala Bagh so it’s an important thing to do in Amritsar. If you’re British, you will feel no hate or judgement here, only sadness. An elderly man, who must have been a boy when it happened, didn’t miss a beat when I told him where I was from. He smiled and welcomed me to his country.
Flag exchange ceremony at wagha-Attary border is another attraction in amrithsar.At 4.15 p.m. in the winter and 5.15 p.m. in the summer, a vibrant, competitive dance display is held on the India-Pakistan border. Each day, hundreds of people come to support India, and you can see Pakistan supporters on the other side of the border.This journey call you back to the history of India.How vibrant the culture is and the phases that created the modern era of the country.Still a lot do ,so let us continue the journey.
