If you are visiting the gurdwara, I highly recommend starting with a visit to the

Interpretation Centre, which provides a series of introductory videos (via an audio

headset) on the history of the temple and information on Sikh history. Visit the
temple afterwards, and you’ll have a much better understanding of its importance
and meaning. I’d also encourage a visit both in both the daytime and in the night, as
the temple looks and feels completely different when it’s lit up at night. Although the
temple is very busy any time of the day or night, find a peaceful spot to reflect and
truly let the energy and beauty of the place, and its purpose, find you.
