Eric Garcetti Worships In Amritsar, Also Meets Up With Sandhu

AMRITSAR (ANI) – Former Indian Ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu held a meeting with US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti in Amritsar.

Sandhu posted, “Delighted to meet my good friend and Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti India in Amritsar. As always enjoyed our wide-ranging conversation.”

On February 26, Eric Garcetti offered prayers at the Golden Temple here. He wrote, “My mother and father came here to the Golden Temple when they were just married in their 20s. And as a child, they told me stories of coming to this beautiful place, a place where not only you could feel its beauty, but you could see its beauty,” he added.

During his time at the Golden Temple, Garcetti immersed himself in its spiritual ambiance, participating in humble acts of service like washing dishes.

Expressing profound gratitude to his hosts and the Sikh community, Garcetti emphasized the Golden Temple’s role as a beacon of peace and harmony.

Speaking about his upbringing in California and his visits to Gurdwaras, Garcetti said, “I grew up going to the Gurdwara with my father. I’ve always had a very close relationship with the Sikh community. And to me, to see, to come here to the heart, the living, breathing heart of the Sikh religion is a dream come true. And for me, I think it represents the peace that we’ve always brought between the United States, the Sikh people, the Sikh religion, and the Sikh message that everybody is our brother and sister.”
