When to go to Amritsar?
The Golden Temple sets the rhythm of Amritsar: gilded domes doubled in the still water of the sacred tank, hymns drifting across the marble walkway, and a free kitchen that feeds anyone who sits down. At dusk the crowds head out to the Wagah border for the theatrical sunset ceremony, while the mirrored passages of Mata Lal Devi Mandir turn devotion into something close to a maze.
