Description Beautiful Panorama Photo of the light of the sun rising behind the Golden Temple, In Amritsar India. On this trip I wanted to watch the sun rise behind the Golden Temple and take some pictures. So I went up on the roof of one part of the wall that surrounds the Hari Mandir Sahib. It was really cold that morning and I was barefoot with only a small jacket. The cold cement floor didnt help either. I was starting to really shiver with cold so I paced up and down the wall, waiting for the sun to start to show light in the horizon. Time seemed to slow as I waited. Then, as I walked up and down the roof trying to keep warm I discovered my source of survival. I found a spot which was kind of a vent where warm steam/air flowed out. It turns out that this was a sweet smelling exhaust vent for the Parshad kitchen below! Not only did it warm my feetbut the sweet aroma of parshad made me feel good. So there I sat, huddled over the vent, watching the sun start to light the morning sky over Harimandir Sahib, with sweet aromas of parshad in the air keeping a smile on my face. So the next time you are up on the roof of the wall above the parshad kitchen, waiting for the sun to rise, go look for the parshad heater! Hahaha..The above picture is from that morning out in the cold, warming my ice cube toes with steam/air from the Gurus Kitchen.
SikhPhotos.com Gallery, Albuquerque Member Since October 2007 Artist Statement In this section you'll see a large collection of Sikh art and photos related to Sikhism. The gallery serves as a central place to showcase different Sikh art (paintings and photography). When I was a teenager I didn't see many Sikh artists, so wanted to help promote and show Sikh art to the world in an effort to encourage youth to get into the arts.
