If you during the day, it is worth going back at night to see the beauty of the place. Also dont miss the food kitchens.

Exquisite sight to beheld. never seen anything more beautiful than this temple. Every arrangement in the temple was well organized... that was the only reason that even after having more than thousands of pilgrims at one time... there was no chaos at all... we all were deeply merged with the divine soul... Best Experience ever

I wasn't really bothered about this before we went, however it was the top of our favourites list in India, a humbling experience, long queues though so get there early ...it's open from 4 am

yes of course this temple is wonderful, we covered Sikh museum as well, and stayed couple of hours at Golden temple, but maybe we expected too much. we could see how Sikh people bow and pray when they enter the temple and also in the middle of the temple there were a lot of people praying.

Really beautiful at night. Calm and peaceful despite it being quite busy. Eating a meal there with hundreds of other people added to an already great evening. It was worth going again during the day – looks very different. It was much busier and really hot during the day though. Amazing experience.

Its divine experience. The concept of worshiping a knowledge source is very thoughtprovoking indeed.

Our visit to the Golden Temple was amazing. I am not sure if it was some special day, but hundreds of Sikhs, individuals and family groups, were gathered there with everyone looking very joyful. Crossing the bridge to the Golden Temple itself along with the thronging devotees and listening to the devotional music coming from within the temple was a... More

Make sure you visit the temple during after sunrise and sunset both. Do not miss the holy dip and the langar. If you plan to stay at the Temple Dharamshala, be prepared for getting no rooms if there is a long rush over a weekend. They do not accept pre-bookings and you might be disappointed when you reach there.

Awesome place, divine environment and unique experience. Chances are that you already have seen photos of the Gurudwara or the Gurudwara itself in movies many times, still it's so beautiful and awe striking when you enter and view it for 1st time. Golden temple in middle of water body surrounding by a big open passage and whole white building makes... More
