Amritsar (’Pool of the Nectar of Immortality’) is named after the sacred pool in the Golden Temple, the holiest of Sikh sites. The temple itself, the city’s singular attraction, is a haven of peace amidst an essentially congested city. The atmosphere is particularly powerful from before dawn to early light, when the surrounding glistening white-marble pavement is still cold under foot and the gold begins to shimmer on the lightening water. Sunset and evening prayers are also a special time to visit. You cannot help but be touched by the sanctity and radiance of the place, the friendly welcome of the people and the community spirit.
