Amritsar photos

The Hindu version of the Golden Temple in Amrtisar. We saw this one first, and it really confused us - we didn't reallise it was meant to be so much like the Golden Temple and so thought we were in the wrong place! Actually its nice, but nowhere near so impressive as the Golden Temple - and the Gold on it seems to run out in the sides of the building...




















A nice festival atmosphere on the streets on Amritsar during Vaisakhi. To get into the spirit - Gary with a very bright orange pseudo-turban at the Golden Temple. Loads of men were bathing in the pool around the temple - along with the fishes.
