Prime Minister Manmohan Singh began his new year by paying obeisance at the Golden Temple here on Sunday morning. Dr. Singh along with his wife Gursharan Kaur reached the Golden Temple at 6.30 am and went to the sanctum sanctorum where they spent half an hour. They listened to the Shabd Kirtan (religious hymns) and Ardas (prayer) while sitting cross-legged with folded hands in the VIP corridor of the sanctum sanctorum of the Harmandar Sahab, popularly known as Golden Temple.
The Prime Minister was attired in a white Kurta-Pyjama and a dark grey jacket while Gursharan Kaur wore a maroon-coloured shawl and cream-coloured ‘salweer kameez’. The couple, who arrived here on Saturday evening, took full round of the marbled periphery around the water pool of Golden Temple to reach the sanctum sanctorum. They listened to the religious hymns for half and hour with rapt attention and closed eyes.
