Little can prepare you for stepping into the holiest site in Sikhism. The glistening Golden Temple, gilded in pure gold and appearing as though it hovers on the artificial lake inside the complex, really does take the breath away.
You’ll visit the temple at dawn, when the rays of a rising sun first hit the golden dome. It’s truly an unforgettable sight, with the reflection of the light on the water simply divine.
Exploring the temple you’ll learn about its symbolism and importance, as well as the life of pilgrims who stay and volunteer. It’s one of India’s most important highlights.
