Omega in Amritsar, India...

Currently in India. Yesterday I was in Amritsar...the holiest temple for Sikhs. Surprised to see an Omega clock on one of the outer entrances...

The clock was on the building on the far right of the first pic.

No photography is allowed after that point.

At 745am it took 90 mins to walk from there to the main temple.

Considering it is one of the most visited place on earth it was so serene considering the tens of thousands of people there each day.

Thank you. It’s truly amazing place. It is estimated the temple feeds between 50,000 to 100,000 meals a day for free.

Money and produce is donated by worshippers and the food is made by volunteers.
