Special Tip
Don't come bare head when you visit the Gurudwara. You must cover it, under no circumstances. Wear something that completely envelops you from your shoulders to your knees. Visit the Gurudwara in the morning or the evening during the summer months as these times are a little bit cooler than the midday hours.
