Sergio Gor’s Amritsar visit included stops at the Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh and the Partition Museum, along with discussions with Sikh leaders on concerns facing the community in the US.
US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor on Monday visited Amritsar’s Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh and the Partition Museum, describing the trip as a “memorable day” as he led a 28-member delegation to the city.
Gor paid obeisance at the Golden Temple, where he was welcomed by Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami and Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargajj, according to an SGPC statement.
During the visit, Gor was briefed about the sacred rituals of Harmandir Sahib, Gurbani Kirtan and the Sewa tradition of the Guru Ghar. In the visitors’ book, he wrote that it was an honour to return to the “special place” he had visited around 15 years ago, the statement said.
On X, Gor said, “A memorable day in Amritsar visiting the Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh and the Partition Museum. Grateful for the warm welcome!” To mark the occasion, he was presented with a model of the Golden Temple, religious books and a shawl.

Welcoming the US delegation, Dhami said Harmandir Sahib is a centre of spiritual inspiration for all humanity, where people of every religion, section and country come to pay obeisance without discrimination. “The philosophy of Guru Granth Sahib gives the entire humanity the message of equality, service and welfare of all,” he said.
Dhami also discussed with the US delegation a recent issue concerning a poster issued in the US asking “Mr Singh” to self-deport. He said that although the US Department of Homeland Security removed the controversial poster after the SGPC objected, the delegation was asked to take necessary steps to ensure such incidents do not happen again.
Dhami said Punjabis, particularly Sikhs, have made a major contribution to the development of America and the US government should take appropriate steps for the safety of every community living there.
