Golden Temple, the tourist attraction in India where people forbid to take picture

News24xx.com - Tourists are prohibited from taking photos in the Golden Temple in order to maintain the sanctity of the Sikh places of worship. The new rule was implemented because so far the Golden Temple management body felt that most of the tourists who came were not respectful of the people who were doing worship or pilgrimage.

"This is not a place to relax. This is a religious site where worshipers come to pray and seek solace from their sadness," said Roop Singh, chief secretary of the Committee Parbandhak Shiromani Gurdwara, the agency managing the site in the city of Amritsar. Every day thousands of tourists and pilgrims visit the Golden Temple. Its popularity is similar to the Taj Mahal.

Every day, Golden Temple provides free food for visitors who come. This concept is the same as that of other Sikh temples. After the new rules take effect, only invited guests are now allowed to take pictures inside the Golden Temple complex. "Rules will be applied to maintain the sanctity of this place" Singh said.

Behind its beauty and splendor, the Golden Temple has been a silent witness to the bloody tragedy that has occurred in the region in the past few decades. In 1984, the Indian military launched an attack on the Golden Temple aimed at driving out the guerrillas who stayed in it.
