Cross Border Rivalry with Pakistan in Attari

So another major "tourist" attraction in Amritsar is to visit the India/Pakistan border for an elaborate closing ceremony at sunset.

There were definitely some great scenes from the 30 minute journey to there-

Crowded on the back of a scooter

On a bike rickshaw-

Peering out the back

Popcorn-wallahs



And at the border itself, both the India and Pakistan side had stadium seating filled to capacity eagerly anticipating the show to come...

The Attari border was almost like a sporting event. There were national chants and plenty of flag waving galore. It was a source of pride for kids to come out and parade the Indian flag in front of the frenzied crowds.

And of course, what would a party in India be like without some Bhangra???!!!!
