关于
快速信息: A single shot from Guru Nanak's follower is said to have landed exactly where this temple now stands, marking the site of a miraculous moment. The temple marks the spot where Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, disappeared into the river during his final journey, leaving behind only his robe and a flower.
亮点: Pilgrims gather at dawn to watch the Guru Granth Sahib carried in a palanquin procession across the bridge to Pakistan, where it is displayed for the day and returned each evening. This daily ritual continues even across the international border, with Pakistani and Indian guards cooperating to open the gates for the sacred ceremony.
内部小贴士
- 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.
