Join the communal kitchen where volunteers serve free meals to thousands daily – an experience in Sikh hospitality that transcends tourism. The Partition Museum tells heart-wrenching stories of India's division through personal artifacts and testimonies. At dusk, head to Wagah Border for the famous ceremony where guards from both nations perform an elaborate, theatrical changing of the guard. Hall Bazaar buzzes with shoppers haggling over phulkari embroidery and juttis (traditional footwear).
