Things to remember

The temple is open to everyone – regardless of religion, caste, colour or sex. But there are a few stringently enforced rules that a visitor must observe – at the risk of being publicly and at times, rudely reprimanded by the burly temple guards who roam the complex ticking off offenders.
Remove your shoes before entering the temple complex
Wash your feet in a small pool of water at the entrance
Keep your head covered at all times – the Gurudwara provides a head covering for those who have not carried a scarf
Do not carry or consume alcohol, drugs, meat or cigarettes while in or around the shrine
Dress appropriately & do not break the line
