Meet pilgrims amid Amritsar's Golden Temple domes
INDIA // The main 16th-century Harmandir Sahib (Temple of God) at Amritsar's Golden Temple is a vision of perfection, rising from a shimmering pool, just part of a far greater gurdwara (religious complex) that comprises the Punjab's spiritual home. Sikh pilgrims who come here in their thousands are always keen to discuss their religion with visitors - these conversations are best enjoyed among shady colonnades, while chants echo gently along the marble surfaces of the ethereally beautiful building.
