Thursday Challenge - Gold

It’s Gold at Thursday Challenge.
And what’s better than the Golden Temple at Amritsar. We visited this beautiful Gurudwara, last fortnight! Also known as Sri Harmandir Sahib and Darbar Sahib, this is the neatest and the cleanest religious shrine I have ever visited. The darshan too is so well organised, despite thousands of devotees visiting here each day and all hours.
Do visit the Golden Temple, whenever you are in Amritsar!

  10. A nice capture.

    P.S. Except for temples... all other places of worship seems to be well organised. The 'darshan' that is... Wonder why though...
