Day 27: We woke up at 5:30am to see the sun rise from inside the temple. We spent hours watching people make their pilgrimage, before enjoying langar, the free meal. The temple feeds about 30,000 people everyday. There are volunteers preparing food and washing dishes at all hours of the day. The sound of metal cutlery, water splashing, and shouts in Punjabi, can be heard all around the temple grounds. After breakfast, we visited a Hindu temple nearby and spent a few hours exploring Amritsar's Old City. After lunch, we piled into a small van and headed to Pakistan.
