We arrived late in Amritsar, then we went straight to the temple in the evening. It was foggy, monsoon weather, This picture came out quite funky with all the light reflections

No shoes are allowed, so here's where you deposit your footwear before entering. It was monsoon and wet

Do not take eatable from strangers. You'll see the same sign in some trains in India.

Many many people are welcome to sit, sleep, rest anywhere at the temple ground. This one is a room with a view

The Golden Temple by night. Still so many people waiting to enter

The Pilgrims

The water body around the temple is considered sacred. Devotees will take a dip in it all day long, even in the dark

And it goes on through the night..

One of my favourite color shade from the collection. The resting hall for the pilgrims

Wisdom by the pantry

The entrance to the pantry where you'll be given a metal plate to eat

Doing chores in not what Indian men are expected to do in their daily life, but in this temple, they can be quite productive

One can also chill

The ladies and the big wash

The big chapatti production. Also by volunteers

Pots for the giants

Warm mik, produced in the evening. Fresh and foamy. The kitchen staff kindly took us in and gave us a glass to try

Not your average kitchen utensils
