This postcard features a photograph of the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, the holiest shrine in Sikhism. Construction began in 1581, and the temple was completed in 1589. Also known as Harmandir Sahib, it welcomes people from all walks of life, regardless of their faith or background. The gurdwara has four entrances, symbolizing the Sikh belief in equality and the idea that people of all castes, ethnicities, and social backgrounds are welcome to worship here. The Golden Temple is one of the world's most visited religious sites, attracting tens of thousands of visitors and worshippers each day.

4452 - Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

One of the television shows I am currently watching is set in Surrey . Allegiance is a Canadian police drama that follows rookie constable Sabrina Sohal as she navigates her career in a fictional federal police force, rather than the real Royal Canadian Mounted Police . Over the course of the series, she becomes increasingly involved in complex investigations, including efforts to clear her father’s name after he is implicated in a serious crime, while also confronting corruption and internal conflicts within the force, and balancing her personal and professional life. The show highlights Surrey’s diverse communities, particularly its South Asian and Indigenous populations. Sabrina herself is Sikh, and the series explores themes of racism, stereotypes, and systemic bias within policing.
