Viewpoint
Favor the classic elevated viewpoint from across the Amrit Sarovar (such as from the eastern or northern parikrama), looking across the tranquil water toward the Golden Temple and the causeway, showing the white marble walkways in the foreground, the floating golden sanctum reflecting in the middle-ground, and the Akal Takht and historic town skyline in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the sacred ber trees, Ram Bagh parklands, and temple garden foliage.
