Hello Beautiful People, Today I am sharing my recent visit to Takhat Sri Harimandir Ji on 1st October,2020. The total distance of Takhat Sri Harimandir Ji from my home is 13KM (Approx). We started early morning at 07:00hrs and reached the place 07:50hrs. We took ashok rajpath marg to reach the destination which was not a good idea as we were stuck in traffic for sometime at 07:10hrs. Currently, there are construction work going on that place because of which you can face traffic if you chose this way. I would personally suggest to take Kankarbagh Main Rd/Kumhrar Rd/Patna - Parsa - Siwan Hwy. After reaching the place we parked our 2 wheeler in the parking inside the Gurudwara. We went to Prasad counter and took Pinni Prasad of 40INR.Note- 1 Pinni Prasad costs 20INR. We went inside the Gurudwara and sat there for 1.5 hrs. It was an Amazing experience visiting a Holy Place after such a long time. After the Kirtan was over, we took the blessing before leaving and went out. The expansion of gurudwara is currently in progress, People are working hard day and night to complete the construction. So it was around 09:45hrs so we decided to leave for our home. We started at 09:45 from Gurudwara and it took around 1.5 hrs, We reached home at 11:15 hrs. While we were returning home back we took NH31 and it was a big mistake for us as there was a huge traffic of truck on complete NH31. We took the service road which help us to reach home at 11:15hrs else it would have taken more than 3 hrs for us to reach home.
