Amritsar – home to the “Golden temple “. I was blessed to visit this holy city with my family in August, 2013. We boarded Amritsar Shatabdi express to Amritsar in the morning from Delhi. All of us were eager to visit this religious and historic place.
Well , as we reached Amritsar station by noon , we saw a replica of the golden temple at the station itself.
- Model of Golden Temple at Railway Station
We had checked in a hotel which was a walking distance away from the Golden temple to be able to reach the holy place multiple times without any hassle. This time we did not book any package stay with meals to enjoy Amritsar street food. There are restaurants and hotels to cater to all budgets. After relaxing for a while , we went to Golden temple complex in the evening. Sikhs visit this holy shrine from all over the world.
- Sarovar and Golden temple
The cool wind was blowing as we started walking around the sarovar. In the evening, reflection of gurudwara in holy waters was a spectacular sight. The upper floors of the temple were covered in Gold by Maharaja Ranjit Singh – giving its spectacular view & the English name.
