Testimonials :----

Sri Guru Arjan Sahib got Sri Harimandir Sahib built in the midst of the sarovar (tank) at the lowest level. Unlike other temples where the devotees have to climb up to offer their obeisance, here the devotees have to step down to offer their homage. This unique temple of God has been built at the lowest level because it represents the humility of Guru Nanak.

The Golden Temple is a symbol of the magnificence and strength of the Sikh people all over the world. In the evolution of the Darbar Sahib, is entwined the history and ideology of Sikhism. In its architecture are included, symbols associated with other places of worship. This is an example of the spirit of tolerance and acceptance that the Sikh philosophy propounds. I personally like this place more than the Taj Mahal. There's no entrance fee. You need to take off your shoes and cover your head. There's a tourist information office at the entrance, you might wanna get in and ask for a booklet which contains a history of this place and a map. It costed 10 Rupees to take a rickshaw from Amritsar Railway Station to the Golden Temple.












Guru Ramdas Langar (Free Kitchen) inside the Golden Temple and you can have your free breakfast, lunch and dinner. Being serve to all visitors 24 hours irrespective of religion & nationality and you can even eat many times as you want!!! Just dal and chappati...nothing else!!!
Like the accommodation in the temple the food there is also for free. I recommend to try it! It is an interesting experience and a glimpse into local live to sit in a row with local people, wealthy or poor. You get some dal (lentils), rice and chapattis and a glas of water. The food is not really something very special. But the experience itself is wonderful!
Sri Guru ka langar, free restaurant really is something different. Up to 50.000 people are fed here daily, and all for free. There is no real way to describe it, just go and see for yourself. It's open 24/7, so if you're craving for a mid-night snack, this is the place to go!

They only have one dish: the dish of the day, usually consisting of rice (sometimes curried) with dal (curried lentils), and chapattis. But you may get lucky and eat there on a rice pudding (with sugar and coconut) -day. That's the great thing, you just never know. As always, donations are very welcome. As is volunteer work in either the cooking- or the dishwashing-department. All meals are veg.
