This is way too much stimuli for one person to take; so-much-so that my camera couldn't even capture the astounding beauty of the Golden Temple (Harminder Sahib). As soon as I laid eyes on this place, all the tension, stress and every other related entity exited my mind and body. It was the most unbelievable feeling to both see and sit inside as the prayer service was going on. The temple resides in Amritsar. It was built around the 1500s and is probably the most sacred place amongst Sikhs. It opens around 4am and the prayer service continues on until 9:30 in the evening. By the way, when I say Golden Temple, I really mean it! It litteraly has 24k gold plated above the base of the structure. Like I said, this picture does no justice.
