Golden Temple

We are in the middle of a three week adventure exploring the Himalayas. En route, we stopped in Amritsar to see the Golden Temple.  This is the Sikh holy site to which many people must make a pilgrimage.  It was one of the most incredible temples we've visited thus far, and we were able to visit twice--you can see photos below from the afternoon and then evening.  We also went to the border crossing with Pakistan and watched an interesting 'closing of the border' routine carried out by Indians watching guards on the India side, and Pakistanis watching the guards on their side.  Definitely the most "Indian pride" we experienced since arriving, with flags and cheers galore. (Although sadly we don't have photos of that...)
