The Golden Temple

Hi.  I've spent the last few days travelling around India by train!

Here's a picture of me taking the 'toy train' to Shimla.  I'm sure Adam, Robin and Grace will be able to find Shimla on a map.


It's called the 'toy train' because it's smaller than the other trains I've been on (not because there are lots of toys on it, unfortunately).  It goes up into the hills where it's nice and cool, which is good because my fur is a bit warm for the rest of India!

Before taking the toy train, I visited a town called Amritsar.  It has the largest temple in the world for people who follow a religion called Sikhism.  It's a very beautiful place.

Here's the temple at night time.


And here it is in the daylight.


I wonder if Adam, Robin and Grace can find out three things about the Sikh religion in their screen time?  Perhaps they could post their findings in the comments section on my blog?  For example, I wonder if they could find out what the 'five Ks' are?  Here's a clue - Sikhs wear them all the time!
