The Golden Temple

The Golden Temple in Amritsar is the holiest shrine of the Sikh religion. It was built in 1574 and contains the Sikh holy book, the Adi Granth. As it's a working religious centre (holy men read aloud from the book all day and night) it has a truly spiritual feel and is bustling with people day and night.

Everyone is genuinely friendly and only too happy to talk... we must have had our photos taken about a hundred times.
