The temple at Amritsar must be the most peaceful place of worship I have ever been to, and certainly the cleanest. We visited twice during the day and again at night, especially to catch the reflected glow of the temple in the pool…

This is one of my all-time favorite images - it was not unusual to see people sitting by the pool, by the walls, either meditating or in silent prayer - somehow adding to the atmosphere of quiet and calm.

And in the market outside, this, and many interesting sights…
