Amritsar Golden Temple by night

We decided to explore in the early evening before a return visit to the Golden Temple

Firstly we visited the memorial to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre (1919) when the British Indian army opened fire on non-violent Indians celebrating a festival 
Gun-shot markings can still be seen
The area is now a very peaceful park, visitors enjoying comparative cool at the end of the day
Return to the Golden Temple, this time accompanied by  a marching group of Sikhs
The Golden Temple in all its splendour


Walking back we spy a new hotel being constructed...
...and the crowds are thinning out.
