And the food at the golden temple is great
And, last time I was there they were selling bottles of Coke for 10 Rupees.
Yeah, sure, they're the one great religion who isn't at all interested in money.
Donations welcome.
At the Golden Temple in Amritsar (and as far as I know, every other Gurdwara), you can stay in the dorms and share in the daily communal meals for free. It is of course appreciated if you leave a small donation for the upkeep of what is a massive operation, or even better help out with the washing up (tens of thousands eat there every day).
I found it to be one of the only religious sites in India where I wasn't hussled by any dickheads trying to scam me (the other place was the Jain Temples at Palitana).
