My friend Manuela shares her experience of her visit to the Golden Temple Amritsar (also known as Swarn Mandir) in the Punjab.
Golden Temple: More than guys with turbans and a temple covered with shiny gold By Manuela Osorio Pineda
I’ve always considered myself as an ‘off-the-beat-traveler’ who craves visiting the remote little spots of a country to find its essence in the unknown and not so popular places; one that always preferred to stay in hostels or with locals through CouchSurfing instead of booking hotel rooms, and definitely the type who ‘hates’ scheduled tours and ‘you-have-20-minutes-to-go-get-a-profile-picture-and-come-back-to-the-bus’ orders … Although I have to say I’ve been there and done that. After all, you’ve gotta try things to know you don’t like them, right?
However, the so called landmarks of a place represent the culture and history of the countries and cultures, and as much as I hate the crowd and little Eiffel Tower and Taj Mahal turned into key chains, I’m also one of those charmed by the beauty and grandeur of the real castles, forts, monuments and temples; you’ve read about them, seen videos and thousands of pictures from every possible angle! But you haven’t felt them and never will, until you’re actually there. Ohh…. If those walls could talk!…
Living in India DEMANDS a trip to countless places like Lotus Temple, Ellora Caves, Amber fort and a crescent list of Architectural jewels and natural beauties from North to South and East to West; but since I ended up in the heart of the state of Punjab, my closer ‘MUST GO’ was just 6 hours away in the city of Amritsar; the magnificent GOLDEN TEMPLE. It was time to go deep into the history of Sikhism. The weekend trip sounded even more interesting with the possibility to visit Jallianwalla Bagh –a relevant place in the history of modern India– and the Wagah Border, boundary with Pakistan. HOW COOOOL WAAS THAT??!!!!!! Well… Maybe my parents didn’t find it that exciting at the beginning :S … But were open-minded enough to remember how the media distorts the reality most of the times, after all, we are from a country with a big stigma about violence and drugs, and know very well the meaning of the word ‘exaggeration’. Travelling around Colombia is a safe and wonderful experience nowadays.
