Amritsar is hot, dusty, dirty, congested and not a great travel destination EXCEPT for the  Golden Temple, which is not to be missed.

In the late afternon we headed about 30kms away to the India/Pakistan border (the only open crossing) for the nightly parade and closing of the gate between the two countries.

Due to a series of mishaps, there are only two photos to show. Suffice to say, that an army officer, Ordnance Division, came to my rescue.  This clip from YouTube will show the ceremony.
