Golden temple by day
The previous post on this series is here..
We got up early in the morning and went back to the Golden temple. The tour guide said that if we go early enough walking bare feet on the roads and in the temple will be easy on the feet. The kids co-operated and got ready early.
The previous night we had visited the golden temple and on our way out had a late dinner at a Dhaba right outside the temple. Let's just say that everything was "extra buttered" and extremely delicious. It was a miracle we got up in the morning at all after all that food.
Golden temple by day is as magnificent as it is by night. There was a one hour wait to go to the inner sanctum, even early in the morning. We stood in line, said a prayer and came out. Then we walked around the entire temple, sat there to gather in the vibe of the place and that was that!
Here are some of the pictures that made it interesting for us. Will always cherish this pic of me and San as well as this one of the ladies walking out. They were already tired as it was getting pretty hot. Amritsar in summer is hot!
The little one looked sooo cute with a head scarf that I kept calling her "bittu". All the shop keepers there were calling her bittu!
The rest of the photos are on a slideshow here..
We also got to go do some shopping at the stores that line up the walkway to the temple..
The next stop for the morning was the Jalianwalah bhag memorial which is right at the edge of the golden temple. . .
