Answer:
Amritsar’s Golden Temple, in the state of Punjab, northern India, is one of the country’s most spectacular sites. It’s natural beauty is hard to beat; the gilt-edged temple shimmers in the large pool of water that surrounds it. Also known as Sri Harmandir Sahib (Temple of God), the site is visited by over 100,000 people every day and is of the world's holiest shrines.
Amritsar means the "pool of the nectar of immortality" and was the name given to the tank around the Golden Temple which was excavated in 1577 CE. The city of Amritsar subsequently grew up around the pool.
It’s a breath-taking spectacle, full of colourful people from all faiths and nationalities. Be prepared for an intense experience and one of the friendliest places in India.
We've listed what you need to know about visiting the Golden Temple below.
The immense logistical achievement of supplying meals to tens of thousands of visitors daily is one of the things that makes the Golden Temple unique. Meals are available in the Golden Temple 24 hours a day – anybody is welcome to eat there and there is no charge for doing so, although donations are accepted; the whole process is funded by donations alone.
Meal times are 12 – 2pm and 7 – 9pm; food is served in two halls in 15 minute sessions per group. On arrival at the Golden Temple, everybody is given a metal tray, cup, spoon and fork by a volunteer and sits on mats on the floor in either of the halls. The food is then served from large containers.
On average, 100,000 people are served meals each day. The food consists of lentil dahl, chapatti, yogurts and chai, and is simple but delicious, according to Heather in our sales team, who recently visited Amritsar. Leftovers are served during other times of the day.
The food served in the Golden Temple is seen as coming from God’s kitchen and therefore blessed and good to eat. The food is for rich and poor alike; all guests sit side by side on the floor, regardless of status.
