O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Shivling u hramu isklesan je od jednog crnog kamena koji ispušta slabu rezonancu kada se udari, fenomen koji vjernici bilježe više od 400 godina. Jutarnje molitve ovdje uključuju ritual u kojem se istovremeno zvoni 108 mesinganih zvona, stvarajući slojevit zvuk koji se čuje diljem područja Gurdaspura.
Istaknuto: Za razliku od većine hramova gdje se prinosi vode kapaju na shivling, ovdje svećenici izmjenično izlijevaju med i mlijeko, ostavljajući crni kamen koji blista zlatnim prugama tijekom cijelog dana. Unutarnje svetište nema električnih svjetala, već se oslanja isključivo na uljne svjetiljke koje se pune gheejem starim 5000 godina, čiji se recepti prenose kroz 17 generacija čuvara hrama.
Insajderski savjeti
- Stand at the northeast corner of the sanctum during the 6 PM aarti to catch the light reflecting off the honey-coated shivling.
- Wear dark-colored clothing to avoid standing out during the oil-lamp ceremonies, as white reflects the flame light and can distract other devotees.
- Skip the crowded noon hours (12-2 PM) when local school groups visit; the temple is nearly empty between 3-5 PM.
- Bring a small cloth to sit on if you plan to stay for the full hour-long bell-ringing ceremony, as the stone floor stays cold year-round.
