‘Photo Friday‘: Pictures from faraway lands.
The Golden Temple, located in Amritsar, Punjab, North India, is one of the holiest and most sacred place of worship of the Sikhs.
सुवर्ण मंदिर, All that glitters IS gold.
Golden Temple, busy during the day.
The Golden Temple welcomes everyone, all regardless of religious affiliation and other man made distinctions. My most favorite part was eating in the free kitchens and relaxing on the edge of the water at night while the moon rose behind the domes.

Oh go go, then stop by at the Wagah border!
I haven’t seen such a golden temple before. Beautiful – especially at night.
The place is really gives one mental peace and it is grand and humble at the same time…
Now that is one spectacular building! It’s now on my list!
Plus, the food and accommodation is free!! (you are expected to donate time or money there).
Looks so pretty with all the reflections! I loved visiting temples in China.
I wonder when I’ll go to China!
