The temple complex opens at 3:30am — at dawn, the gold-plated dome reflects in the Amrit Sarovar, kirtan (devotional music) fills the air, and the devotion is overwhelming. Entry is always free.
Langar Community Kitchen
The free kitchen that feeds 100,000 people daily regardless of religion or caste — roti made on an enormous scale, dal, vegetables. Volunteering to wash dishes or knead dough is welcome.
Wagah Border Ceremony
Every evening, India and Pakistan's border guards perform an elaborate lowering-of-the-flags ceremony — high-kicking soldiers, nationalism at full volume, and genuine emotion on both sides.

The garden where British troops massacred 379 unarmed civilians in 1919 — bullet marks still visible in the walls. One of the most important sites in India's independence history.
Amritsari Kulcha & Food
