It was very crowded on Sundays, so I suggest you visit at another time. Be prepared to cover your head and take off your shoes, it helps to go into the museum at a slower pace and learn more. There is also a movie to give you a better understanding, but it is in Hindi. A volunteer from the reflecting pool explained the various beliefs of Sikhism. The temple has a community kitchen that provides food for free to anyone. It is run by volunteers. However, if you don't like crowds, it may not be a good place for you.

This building itself is also one of the classic and good places. Many of the contents inside the building are also very good. You will love it when you come here. India’s religion is very rich. Many local people are also very pious when visiting here. Many things are also quite spacious.

[Location] Not far from Connet Square, I walked there, having to withstand the scorching sun and the pursuit of scheming Indian men. [Environment] It is in an alley, and there are more people and stalls selling offerings, which means it is almost there. Among a bunch of low, dilapidated and inconspicuous buildings, the white gate and the golden-roofed building are shining. [Process] After entering the main gate, the first thing to do is to take off your shoes and store them, which is free here. Then wrap your hair with a headscarf, or find a headscarf in the frame to wrap your hair, and then you can enter. Where there is no grass mat on the ground, you can really put some cumin. How many barbecues can be grilled in a day~ I stepped on the water barefoot, then walked along the carpet and awning through a square and entered the main hall. Three believers played and sang, wow, the sound was so appealing, I stood next to it for a long time, but it was a pity that I couldn’t record it, it was so beautiful. Then I followed the believers around in a circle. There is a big pool next to it where you can take a bath. Children are swimming, and there is a small compartment for women to take a bath. I walked around the pool and then accidentally followed the direction of the museum, but came to the legendary free canteen. And it happened that the previous group had finished eating and the next group was waiting. I was brave enough to prepare for diarrhea on the first day in India and learned to eat a "free meal". After eating, there was a toilet next to it, and there were public slippers in the toilet. It was a very unusual experience.

India's culture is indeed very diverse and unique, and Sikhism is one of them. The first impression I had of India was the Sikhs wearing turbans, and I thought they were Indians. Later, as I learned more, I realized that they are just a minority in India, with only 1-2% of believers, but they are indeed special and more impressive than other Indian ethnic groups. The tour guide is a Sikh, and he is proud of the charity of Sikhism, distributing food to the poor for free. In fact, I found out that Sikhism actually provides 50% of the food in India. It is respectable!

This spiritual place is one of the most peaceful places in the capital of India. Also, it is one of the major tourist attractions in Delhi. We visited here on Diwali and it was beautifully lit.  People from all over the world visit this place. There is a Sikh Museum which familiarises you with the history of Sikhism. This museum is a must-visit part of the Gurudwara. You’ll be provided with audio headphones which skims you through the history of Sikhs. We loved our visit and would surely visit this place again. This pilgrim destination has outstanding architecture too.
