Amritsar: Golden Temple

In northwestern Punjab, 30 km from the Pakistan boarder lies the city of Amritsar--home to the Golden Temple, the holiest shrine of the Sikhs.   

The saffron and cobalt attire of the warrior sect of the Sikhs.   

The street leading to the temple.

Cover your head and was your feet before entering.
