After
breakfast move for sightseeing covering
Golden Temple - the holy scripture is brought in
a vivid procession from the Akal Takhat (the highest temporal
seat of the Sikhs) in the morning to the temple to be
returned at night. Singing is central to Sikh worship &
is a feast to the souls when hymns from the holy scripture
are recited Kirtan and the waves of the classical ragas,
a sublim blend of voice & music. and
Jallianwala Bagh - the historic site where hundreds
of innocent Indian men, women an children were massacred
by British General Michael Dyer on April 13, 1919. A memoral
and Garden have been created here as a national monument.
Afternoon visit Indo-Pak Border to watch retreat
ceremony-30 KM on the road toLahore is India-Pakistan
Border. A visit to the border is an interesting experience
especially at Sunset, when the retreat ceremony takes
place with the Border Security Force on the Indian Side
and the Sutlej Rangers on the Pakistanside putting up
a well coordinated and spectacular display. The sound
from the Bugles blown together from both sides paints
past on the canvas when India and Pakistan were one,
simultaneously Flags of the two nations are ceremoniously
retrieved and lights are switched on marking the end of
the day. Amidst thunderous applause today this point is
the only land route open to approach Pakistanand central
Asia.Return to hotel in the afternoon. Overnight stay. |
