Located at the heart of the city its well connected Metro station closest is Shivaji stadium on the airport express line but you can use the Rajiv Chowlk one too. Bus services are plenty from all areas in Delhi and its located near the Pahar Gung are which houses budget hotels. What strikes you first is the way its organised. A very user friendly place. All systems are in place be it security or services like the langar and the prayer path. People are extremely humble and helpful. There are very good stores on the premises to get any thing you want for your religious needs. Not to mention the best food stalls outside. Its spotlessly clean and there is a place to keep your footwear safely. The tranquility of the place is striking despite the hoards of people visiting the place. Covering your head with a scarf is a must so you can pick one up at the entrance from one of the colorful stalls. Avoid going there between 12 to 3pm in summer as the marble floor is hot even though there are carpets along the path. its a spectacular place and the architecture is unmatched. In fact recently they have added two blocks which are very modern in services but have maintained the traditional feel.

It is one of the stops in our New Delhi trip and it was very interesting! We first entered a building, which seems to be only for tourists. The rooms got AC and there are also toilets. We were told to leave our shoes in a drawer as we have to be barefoot all over the area. We were also given orange headscarves which we need to wear while inside the temple premises. I suggest to bring your own headscarf for hygienic purposes! Our guide showed us first the kitchen where we saw volunteers help in peeling, cutting and slicing the vegetables. We also saw a lot of people sitting patiently and calmly waiting for their turn to enter the dining area for the free meal that is distributed in the temple. We were told that everybody is welcome to eat and volunteer to help in the kitchen. The food are also donated by people. The kitchen is big and got huge pots and utensils. It was impressive! You can also help make the bread. You also have to be barefoot while in the kitchen. Be careful as it can be slippery and sticky. You are also allowed to enter the temple while everybody is praying. It is really interesting! By the temple, there is also a big pool where people bathe. You can also see some fish in it. It was a sunny day and the whole place is so bright because the temple is painted white and gold. Sunglasses may be good to have while there.

A beautiful Sikh temple with golden onion domes and a sacred lake. The rhythmic chanting of the Sikhs makes it a truly spiritual place to wander. You are not allowed to take photos so when we were given permission by a couple of the guards we took the gap, but then no selfies were allowed. The kitchens of this temple feed thousands every day- a meal of dahl, lentils, rice and roti. The huge kitchen with its gigantic copper pots being stored are a sight to behold
