Can I visit the Golden Temple late at night?

Yes, the Golden Temple complex is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The late-night Palki Sahib ceremony (around 10:00 PM) where the Guru Granth Sahib is carried to its resting chamber is deeply revered and unmissable.

What dress code is required inside the Golden Temple?

Modest attire covering legs and shoulders is required. Your head must remain completely covered at all times inside the complex (scarves/rumals are available free at the entrance). Footwear and socks must be deposited at the free token counters outside.
