Both men and women are required to wear a scarf over their head and all visitors must remove their shoes and wash their feet by walking through pools before entering the complex and once inside visitors must walk clockwise around the pool and temple marble walkway

What fantastic shots! I was looking at this direction -- the Sikh lands I've never visited -- but I ended up with the idea going deep to Rajasthan (which I had also never visited except for Udailur 10 years ago). After this post, I feel pain "am I going to miss the Sikh areas??" lol

Divert Divert! Loved Amritsar, been there a couple of times now, and the food is amazing the Sikh people really friendly, the second time I was there an elderly educated gent, introduced me to his younger daughter she was stunning, he was proclaiming her virtues and ambitions I think he was looking to marry her off...shame she was younger than my own daughter LOL

Gosh what a contrast, India to Norway LOL, I hope it is all you want it to be.

I love travelling to India, I have been to Goa loved it. I have seen so much of the country NSE and W. It is a remarkable country.

I hear there is snow currently in Norway? travelling above the Arctic Circle in 10 days time to chase the Northern Lights, best pack some thermal pants LOL

Wow, quite a ritual and many rules to enter that place, which, by the way, is very beautiful. Greetings.
