Amritsar for Pilgrims

If you take off your shoes, cover your head and wash your feet you can visit Sri Harmandir Sahib - the abode of God (the golden temple) along with some 100 000 others per day. A pool surrounds the temple and pilgrims wash in its waters (ladies behind a discrete screen).We queued for over an hour to be able to enter the temple and it was worth the wait.  Pilgrims can partake of a free meal cook by volunteers in an enormous kitchen. Such logistics are mind-boggling.
