The Golden Sojourn

Incredible India's spiritual shrine " Amritsar " ...Home of Harmandar Sahib ( The Golden Temple ) and Jallianwala Bagh .A gateway to the celebrated " Wagah International Crossing ".Most significant though , the delectable Punjabi food ( Tantalizing & Lip smacking).So much on the platter the plunge was inevitable.So I gave into temptation.Magnificence of Shatabdi and splendor of the countryside was captivating.Amritsar Station was unkempt and poorly maintained .... An Eyesore .Golden Temple was the cynosure of all eyes ...... a true marvel.Glistening under the september sun this marble sanctuary was spellbinding.Gurbani - long and sonorous was soul stirring ..... Sarovar waters were murky yet an assortment of fish could be made out ..Faithful dipped in the holy water (strictly men and forbidden for women ) ...Out of the peace and tranquil of Harmandar Sahib food was the only thought ..." Prava Da Tabba " ( Take a crack ) was gratifying. We were gluttons at large ...Jallianwala Bagh was heartrending ... ( Country moved on ) .... Durgiana Mandir a hideous copy of Golden Temple was a turn off .... Wagah was too far .... gave it a miss ... Not too upbeat .... Khalsa college was a spectacle ... gothic & princely...it was Ranjit Singh's Palace ...In all Amritsar was a welcome change .... A spiritual excursion and a sure wonder ..... Singh is king ... Duniya De Raje ....
