"I
found the chanting so uplifting that one afternoon I sat and listened to the
enrapturing music for hours."

The Golden Temple is a symbol
of the magnificence and strength of the Sikh people all over the world. In the
evolution of the Darbar Sahib, is entwined the history and ideology of Sikhism.
In its architecture are included, symbols associated with other places of
worship. This is an example of the spirit of tolerance and acceptance that the
Sikh philosophy propounds. I personally like this place more than the Taj Mahal.
There's no entrance fee. You need to take off your shoes and cover your head.
There's a tourist information office at the entrance, you might wanna get in and
ask for a booklet which contains a history of this place and a map. It costed 10
Rupees to take a rickshaw from Amritsar Railway Station to the Golden Temple.

Like the accommodation in the
temple the food there is also for free. I recommend to try it! It is an
interesting experience and a glimpse into local live to sit in a row with local
people, wealthy or poor. You get some dal (lentils), rice and chapattis and a
glas of water. The food is not really something very special. But the experience
itself is wonderful!

Sri Guru ka langar, free
restaurant really is something different. Up to 50.000 people are fed here
daily, and all for free. There is no real way to describe it, just go and see
for yourself. It's open 24/7, so if you're craving for a mid-night snack, this
is the place to go!
They only have one dish: the dish of the day, usually consisting of rice
(sometimes curried) with dal (curried lentils), and chapattis. But you may get
lucky and eat there on a rice pudding (with sugar and coconut) -day. That's the
great thing, you just never know. As always, donations are very welcome. As is
volunteer work in either the cooking- or the dishwashing-department. All meals
are veg.
