Participate in the morning prayers and immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere. Your guide will explain the history and significance of the temple, including its construction and its role in Sikhism. Stroll around the Amrit Sarovar (the holy tank) and observe the devotees taking a dip in its sacred waters.

Jallianwala Bagh
