High sentiments. Immense Love energy and adrenaline. Showmanship. An incredible festive air. And a fabulous all pervasive Patriotic feeling. To all those that visit Amritsar the Flag lowering ceremony is a must do. Suggestions: A. Leave from Amritsar by 3:15-3:30 at the latest. B. Plan to get a VIP pass, very helpful to get seats. C. The walk isn’t much but if there are people not comfortable walking make sure you have a vehicle pass. And above all to truly enjoy participate whole heartedly.
