Crowd watching at Darbar Sahib, by Jaskaran Singh

Darbar Sahib, or The Golden Temple is a gurdwara located in Amritsar in the state of Punjab in India. It is one of the holiest pilgrimage sites in Sikhism. The sarovar or the holy pool on the site of the gurdwara was completed by the fourth Sikh Guru, Guru Ram Das, in 1577. The gurdwara was repeatedly rebuilt by the Sikhs after it became a target of persecution and was destroyed several times by the Mughal and invading Afghan armies. Maharaja Ranjit Singh, after founding the Sikh Empire, rebuilt it in marble and copper in 1809. The Golden Temple has a square plan with four entrances, and a circumambulation path around the pool. The complex is a collection of buildings around the sanctum and the pool. The gurudwara houses a community-run kitchen that offers a meal to all visitors without discrimination. Over 150,000 people visit the holy shrine everyday for worship.

My mom sent me this screenshot and I can't stop giggling

I love that he clearly took the time to print out the letter before going out just for this joke. xD
