Om
Raske fakta: Et enkelt skudd fra Guru Nanaks tilhenger skal ha landet nøyaktig der dette tempelet nå står, og markerer stedet for et mirakuløst øyeblikk. Tempelet markerer stedet hvor Guru Nanak, grunnleggeren av sikhismen, forsvant i elven under sin siste reise, og etterlot seg bare sin kappe og en blomst.
Høydepunkter: Pilegrimer samles ved daggry for å se Guru Granth Sahib bli båret i en palankinprosesjon over broen til Pakistan, hvor den vises frem for dagen og returneres hver kveld. Denne daglige ritualen fortsetter selv over den internasjonale grensen, med pakistanske og indiske vakter som samarbeider om å åpne portene for den hellige seremonien.
Insidertips
- Stand near the riverbank around sunset to see the palanquin procession returning from Pakistan with its torch-lit escort.
- Cover your head and remove shoes before entering, scarves are available at the entrance if you forget.
- Try the langar meal, the communal kitchen serves thousands of visitors daily and is an essential part of the experience.
- Visit on a weekday to avoid the large weekend crowds that come from both sides of the border.
