In the first week of January we were in Amritsar in the state of Punjab. We had been longing to see HARMANDIR SAHIB or THE GOLDEN TEMPLE for quite some time. The Golden temple is one of the most sacred pilgrimage centres for the Sikhs. In fact, people of all faiths go there. Devotion and service is inherent in every nook and corner of the temple complex.
