Amritsar

07/09/10 Home of the Sikh's holiest shrine, The Golden Temple.

Not a flasher, just Grace's comic shutter timing ;) Sikh's bath in the sacred pool.

Maybe more amazing than the architecture, is that up to 80,000 visit everyday and are offered free food and accomodation whatever their faith.

Community kitchen

Sri Guru Ram Das Niwas Dormitory

Voluntarily volunteers volunteer around the clock to keep the place running; cleaning the floors, chopping vegatables or washing up.

  1. I'M SO JEALOUS OF YOUR TRIP TO AMRITSAR - IT LOOKS JUST AS WONDERFUL AS I HAVE ALWAYS IMAGINED.
    DID YOU HAVE TO DO ANY SERVICE IN RETURN OR IS IT JUST THE SIKHS THAT DO IT AS PART OF THEIR FAITH.
    LOVE THE 'BLURRY PICTURE' WITH THE TEMPLE IN THE BACKGROUND.XX M
