About this experience
Join us for a unique evening at the Golden Temple and witness the sacred Palki Sahib (Night Ceremony). Each night, the Guru Granth Sahib (holy scripture) is carried in a decorated palanquin from the sanctum, Harmandir Sahib, to the Akal Takht Sahib, accompanied by devotional hymns and traditional music. The ceremony begins after the evening prayer (Rehras Sahib) when the temple is beautifully lit. Walk barefoot across glowing marble, see the Golden Temple shimmering under the night sky, listen to live kirtan, and witness the Sukhasan ritual where the scripture is put to rest. With a practicing Sikh guide, you’ll gain insight into the meaning of each ritual, the values of Sikhism—seva (service), equality, and love—and stories passed down for generations. Anyone can visit the Golden Temple, but this guided experience lets you truly feel it. A moving spiritual journey that will leave you humbled and inspired.
