This is the main attraction in the city, and the most important religious place to the Sikhs. It's a stunning complex, and always full of thousands of pilgrims from all over India, excited to be at a place that they usually only see on television. The excitement to be here is infectious, and many people will be more than happy to tell you all about their religion and customs, and show you around the temple. As you arrive near the complex, you will more likely than not be accosted by hawkers trying to sell you bandannas to cover your head, but there's also a big barrel of free ones to choose from at the every entrance. Head covering and removal of shoes is mandatory for everyone—free cloakrooms are available at all entrances.Besides walking around and enjoying the sight, have a meal and a chai at the free community kitchen southeast of the pool. It is also highly recommended to stay one or two nights in the temple itself—if you do not want to sleep next to the pool, there is a tourist dorm with AC in the Sarai Shri Guru Ramdass Ji building. Also, if you are keen, volunteers for the kitchen are always welcome and it is a fun experience between the many other locals rolling some bread, collecting dishes, or washing up.
