India: Images 71
Punjab is the home of the Sikh religion and the best place to see turbans of all colors and styles.
Often the color of the turban matches the color of the shirt.
Some look like they were wrapped quickly without much care.
5 yards of fabric!
Younger guys generally have smaller turbans. They told me it is because they don't have the time or patience to carefully wrap a large turban.

At the border closing ceremony, there is a huge crowd of spectators on the Indian side of the border.
But a less inspired, gender segregated crowd on the Pakistani side of the border.
One of the more popular Indian soldiers.
I think he's bored.

Man praying at the Golden Temple.
At night, many people sleep on the floor inside the temple complex.
An administrative building lit up at night.
Horse and cart - still a popular mode of transporting goods.
Everyday, there is a ridiculous border closing ceremony at the Indian/Pakistani border. These are Indian soldiers.

My first glimpse of the Golden Temple in Amritsar.

The temple is built of marble, with inlay work similar to the Taj Mahal, and with gold overlay.

About Me
Jamile
On April 1, 2007, I decided that the time was right for me to leave my job and travel. There is so much in the world that I would like to see while I still can. This blog is for family and friends to keep track of where I am.
