A few pics from my visit to Amritsar, the city known the world over as the city of the Golden Temple.
Golden Temple is a place of peace, beauty and spiritual calm. It has many moods. Judge for yourself.
The model of Golden Temple that greets visitors at the Amritsar Railway Station.
The 'Real Thing' in all its majesty.
Molten gold in a pool of nectar. Amritsar literally means pool of nectar. Locals pronounce Amritsar as Ambarsar.

Golden Temple entrance with the verse," Ditthe sabbe thaun nahi tudh jehiya". (Translation: I have seen all places. None match your grandeur.)
Molten Gold which leaves one speechless and spellbound.
To visit Amritsar and see Golden Temple with one's own eyes is a blessing and a privilege.
