When my hubby told his friend we were going to Delhi and staying there for 6 days, he felt we should also fit Amritsar into our itinerary. The idea was appealing 'coz we also got to know of the Beating Retreat and Change of Guard at the Wagah Border ceremony that attracts hundreds of thousands daily before sunset at the common between Pakistan and India.
So we booked a flight to visit Amritsar for the two things on out list - the Golden Temple and the Wagah Border ceremony . We had a lovely Punjabi meal after the visit to the Golden Temple. Our guide, Kuldip in Delhi was so happy that we were visiting Amritsar. I can still hear him punctuating everything, imbued with much love for his homeland, The Golden Temple, and the food with ,'.. toooo good !' It's true of our experience.
Here's some pictures we took at the Harmandir Sahib or what we know as the Golden Temple in Punjab.
