There truely are some amazing things to see in this country. after fleeing the mountains I went over to Amritsar, which is a city in the Punjab Province near the border with Pakistan. Amazing Sikh temple(the famed "Golden Temple"), and wierd flag-lowering ceremony at the Wagah border, which was the most effort and commotion I'd ever seen over a couple of flags being pulled down in my life, but it was an eye opener anyway and well worth the visit.

Two comments: Sikhs are not celibate; they are supposed to get married as virgins - and remain faithful to their spouses. Both genders are required to have the 5 Ks: kirpan(sword, dagger), kesh(uncut hair, kachha (shorts), kangha(comb), kara (bangle), not just men.
