Also known as the Shri Darbar Sahib, it is in the center of the old part of Amritsar. The Golden Temple sits on a rectangular platform, surrounded by a pool of water called the Amrit Sarovar from which the City is named.  Anyone can freely visit the temple, eat there and stay there.\r\n\r\nWe also checked out the Wagah Border ceremony \u2014 a political and historical icon, Wagah Border is also called the Berlin Wall of Asia. This ceremonial border, attracts thousands of visitors from both India and Pakistan, everyday. An hour from Amritsar. Past the many security check points, both sides of the border are marked by convoluted buildings, barriers and roads. The Retreat ceremony starts 30 minutes before sunset. As a prelude, public address systems on both sides play the most resounding patriotic songs as soldiers march up and down in ceremonial garb.\r\n\r\n<object><\/object><p style=\"width:425px;margin-top:0;text-align:center\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/share.shutterfly.com\/action\/welcome?sid=1Cbs27JqxasUy&amp;eid=118\">Our entire North India Photo collection \u2014 lick the picture to view larger<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/MG_5571.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-928\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/MG_5571.jpg?resize=368%2C700\" alt=\"_MG_5571\" width=\"368\" height=\"700\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a>\r\n<b>Indian Soldier<\/b>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/MG_5576.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-929\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/MG_5576.jpg?resize=640%2C336\" alt=\"_MG_5576\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a>\r\n<b>Sign at Pakistan Wagah Border Crossing near Amritsar\u2013 <\/b>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/IMG_5554.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-930\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/IMG_5554.jpg?resize=640%2C336\" alt=\"IMG_5554\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a>\r\n<b>Wagah Border Crossing near Amritsar \u2014 Daily ceremony at Sunset marking the closing of the Border Crossing<\/b>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/IMG_5445-tiltC.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-931\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/IMG_5445-tiltC.jpg?resize=640%2C336\" alt=\"IMG_5445-tiltC\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a>\r\n<b>Golden Temple<\/b>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/IMG_5455.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-932\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/IMG_5455.jpg?resize=640%2C336\" alt=\"IMG_5455\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a>\r\n<b>Golden Temple Sikh Visitors<\/b>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/IMG_5458.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-934\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/IMG_5458.jpg?resize=640%2C336\" alt=\"IMG_5458\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a>\r\n<b>Golden Temple Rock Band \u2014 not really<\/b>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/MG_5688.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-935\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/assets\/MG_5688.jpg?resize=640%2C336\" alt=\"_MG_5688\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a>\r\n<b>Cricket is a National Obsession \u2014 kids play on any open space<\/b><div class=\"learnpress\"><div class=\"learn-press-message error\">This shortcode LP Profile only use on the page <a href=\"https:\/\/agencyveneer.com\/WP\/wp-admin\/admin.php?page=learn-press-settings\"><strong>Profile<\/strong><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We visited Amritsar in the heart of the Punjab in 2010.
