20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Praying at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India

I visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, the holiest site in the world for Sikhs. It is the equivalent of Mecca for Muslims or St. Peter's for Christians. While there, I captured this photo of a young Sikh man praying at sunset, an absolutely humbling scene to witness.
