Pilgrims circling around on the Parkarma, the marble walkway surrounding the pool.
Bathing in the holy waters.
Definitely long lines to go inside the main temple, but taking advantage of the "tourist pass" (membership has it's privileges), we got to enter through the exit. The Sikh holy book, the Guru Granth Sahib, is kept inside under watch by priests chanting and singing. No cameras were allowed so no photos unfortunately.
The Golden Temple definitely has a very communal atmosphere as well. Water is made available to thirsty pilgrims, and plenty of people were willing to clean plates.
Without a doubt, a very special place.
