I'm a Sikh who doesn't live in India but when we do visit India, we HAVE to visit our beautiful, holy Golden Temple. I got to visit it this year and I just feel so blessed 🙏🏽🙏🏽💖

Small error but Sikhs don't do pilgrimages(in the traditional sense) as mentioned. You're supposed to go pray whenever you get a chance but there isn't really a "mandatory" pilgrimage like Islam has to Mecca.

Can UNESCO please explain why the Golden Temple is not a World Heritage site? The European bias is just unreal with UNESCO.

Sikhism and their temples are so underrated, like the temple of Guru Nanak. They’re so beautiful

Gurudwara doesn’t mean ‘home of God’ but instead ‘Door to God’.
Sikhism is the world’s 5th largest religion.

[suhasprabhu]

No matter which religion, poor or rich, atheist, literally anyone can enter a gurudwara and u will get a meal without any discrimination, this the Moto of their religion to protect, serve, help, to do good and be truthful to everyone.

Lots of love to all my Sikh brothers from Haryanvi Jat

A true bliss for the heart...first time i see this...🌸🌷⚘

[kokonana]

The architecture alone is breathtakingly beautiful. Yet, to know that the temple itself stands for peace, unity and brotherhood of all human races (regardless of their class, caste, creed and etc) is priceless. Thank you the Sikh faith for showing us how to love & respect.
