Shunya's latest post about the Sikh Gurdwara (temple) Anandpur Sahib took me far down the memory lane. I had visited this beautiful place in my late teens. I don't remember too many of the details now. But I did make a sketch of the lovely structure which amazingly is still in my possession (most of the art work that I had produced in India got inexplicably "lost" during one of our moves). It is a pen and pencil execution in a school note book whose pages are now yellowing. I am posting it here. Please do check out Shunya's much better and vivid photographic depictions of this stunning place.
