Journey to Punjab- Visit to Golden temple at amritsar




















Dad in my childhood talked about his visit to the golden temple and showed the photograph of the temple. I was so thrilled to imagine the beautiful temple. During the prime ministership of Indira Gandhi, when there occured military intervention inside the temple to capture arms and munitions along with Bhindran wala, I was so shocked. I never thought it would be a possibility to visit the temple at Amritsar in Punjab.

Time was fast running as it should be. Reena and Sarita proposed a visit to Amritsar to see the famous Golden temple,  famous hindu temple Durgiana Mandir, and  Longavalimata temple. I loved to visit temples. I was specially interested in visiting the Golden temple at Amritsr because in my childhood my dad described its beauty, uniqueness, and its historical importance to our country. I, Sarita, Reena were a perfect team for travel on road. Sarita is an excellent driver. We reached Amitsar at 12 noon.t took 5 hours to reach the golden temple. Whatever dad described were true. I enjoyed the stay at the temple. I enjoyed the food  the community Kitchen served to thousands of visitors free of cost. Each activity was excellently organised. WHen I was in the temple, I sat for sometime and remembered mom, dad and those who left me behind.  I thanked god in providing me with all these opportunities. I thanked my jammu daughters for taking initiative to give rich experiences. I loved thie experiences from the Golden temple.
