Golden Temple Rush Hour



Golden Temple (early morning)
The guest house where I am staying is immediately across the street from “The Golden Temple.”  This is a working Tibetan Buddhist monastery and home to many monks. The temple is also very popular with Indian tourists.  Hundreds of people visit the temple:  they come on foot, on motorcycles, in auto-rickshaws, cars, and buses.   The stream of people from 7 am to 7 pm is non-stop.  Although the temple closes at 6 pm, it takes all of the tourists about an hour to clear out from the area.  Here is a video of what it looks and sounds like at closing time.
