Congress leader and MP Rahul Gandhi on October 2 paid obeisance at the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) in Punjab’s Amritsar.
Mr. Gandhi, who was on a personal visit, paid his respects at the Golden Temple by offering a ‘Rumalla Sahib’ — a sacred cloth used to cover the Guru Granth Sahib. He also performed ‘sewa’ (voluntary service) by cleaning water bowls used by devotees.
Mr. Gandhi reached Amritsar from Shimla, and earlier in the day, offered prayers at the famous Ramlok Temple near Sadhupul in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh. He was accompanied by former Congress president Sonia Gandhi and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
