5 things to learn from the Golden Temple

The Golden Temple located at Amritsar in Punjab, is a perfect place to unwind from the routine life and get one step closer to divinity.

My 5 take aways from the Golden Temple:

1. Cleanliness:  Nevertheless enormous footfalls, the temple premise is maintained neat and clean.

2. Humility:  Very heartening to see humility of people providing service. Be it service at the cloak rooms to the water sheds. Even the well off are found cleaning the floors.

3. No bounds:  Nothing/nobody is restricted inside the temple. Open for all and free for photographers delight.

4. Magnanimity:  The "langar (free kitchen)" feeds several needy people everyday.

5. Beauty:  The golden structure and its reflection on the sorrounding pond of nectar "Sarovar" is simply breath-taking.
