DON T MISS Join the pilgrimage to Sikhism s serene Golden Temple in Amritsar. Spend some time circumambulating the sacred pack in hospital bag lake, Amrit Sarovar, partaking prasad and generally joining in. Sikhism prides itself on its open and inclusive outlook to all religions and all peoples. Witness the gilded temple during an ethereal sunrise, moody sunset, and when it is sparkling and illuminated at night. Cheer with pumped-up patriots pack in hospital bag as they watch Indian and Pakistani soldiers try to out-stomp, out-scowl and out-salute each other at Attari Wagah s fantastical border-closing ceremony. When in Chandigarh, explore the whimsical world of Nek Chand Fantasy pack in hospital bag Rock Garden. Reputed to be one of India s top tourist attractions, this recycled wonder world will enthral the kids and may even provide a few ideas for home projects! Top State Festivals
You must enter the High Court via the car park. On the way is the small High Court Museum pack in hospital bag (admission free; h10am-5pm Mon-Sat) containing assorted memorabilia including original Le Corbusier sketches and the handcuffs worn by Nathuram Godse, Mahatma Gandhi s assassin (see boxed text, p 1096 ). Most exhibits are on the 1st fl oor. On request, there s a free guided tour.
Guru-Ka-Langar is the free (donations appreciated) community dining room, a feature of all Sikh temples as a mark of unity among people of all religions, creeds and nationalities. The massive kitchens (one has a chapati machine) prepare vegetarian pack in hospital bag meals for an estimated 60,000 to 80,000 pilgrims a day (more during holy festivals). A truly incredible feat! All are welcome to join the masses eating on the floor and we highly recommend the experience (feel free to help volunteers with the washing up).
