Golden Temple in Amritsar

From Dharamsala our small group took a 5-hour bus ride (one way....) to Amritsar, holy city of the Sikhs.  Above is the Golden Temple, an absolutely splendid place as you can well imagine from the photograph.

JUDAS TREE

  This is a Judas Tree, thus named because it is said to be the type of tree from which Judas Iscariot hanged himself after betraying Christ...
