Architecture: Admire the stunning architecture of the Golden Temple, with its gold-covered dome and intricate marble work.
Wagah Border:
The Wagah Border is the international border between India and Pakistan, and it's famous for the daily “Wagah Border Ceremony,” a military parade and flag-lowering ceremony that's performed by both Indian and Pakistani soldiers. The ceremony is a lively display of patriotism and national pride.
