Young Amritdhari Sikh at Golden Temple, Amritsar (INDIA)

© Capt Suresh Sharma. All Rights Reserved

I found this young Amritdhari Sikh at Golden Temple and waitied for the right moment for a click. As he started praying just before getting into the Sarovar (Holy Tank), my Canon 20D went click click..... Its a tough task to follow the principles of an Amritdhari Sikh. I was quite impressed with this young man and his spirit.

Amritdhari is a Sikh believer who has undergone initiation into the Khalsa. Amrit Dhari means "One who takes the nectar," referring to the Sikh baptism ceremony, the Amritsanskar.
