Amritsar, the pilgrim city of Punjab, is named after Amrit Sarovar, the sacred pool that surrounds Sikhism’s holiest site in the world, the Golden Temple. To witness the morning prayers, as the gilded doors are opened, hymns are chanted and devotees volunteer in the world’s largest free community kitchen where nearly 100,000 people of all religions and backgrounds sit together in rows on the floor and eat every day. The evening prayers, as the sun glints on the temple’s imposing pure gold dome, stir the spiritual inside everyone present.
