  3. Vaisakhi festival, Golden Temple

    Vaisakhi is one of the most important Sikh religious festivals, commemorating the tenth Guru's creation of the order of holy soldiers that would defend Sikhism against its enemies.

    Celebrations culminate with a large parade through the city as the Sikh Scripture (Guru Granth Sahib) and holy relics are carried in procession (seen in the bus).

    Here, devotees clamour to touch the Scripture.

  4. Kinkakuju

    Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion) is a Zen temple formally known as Rokuonji.

    In 1397 construction started on the Golden Pavilion as part of a new residence for the retired shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Kinkakuji was converted into a Zen temple after Yoshimitsu's death in 1408.

    The Golden Pavilion functions as shariden, housing sacred relics of the Buddha and is covered in gold leaf.
