A Sikh volunteer inside the sarovar of the Golden Temple in Amritsar

There are a number of people who volunteer for various work inside the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, such as for serving food, preparing food, and also for cleaning up. It is admirable to see people doing such stuff, trying to do the hard task of keeping the sarovar (the pond) of the Golden Temple clean.

Doing volunteer work in the Golden Temple is considered holy, and there are a number of volunteers who keep the complex clean and free from any contamination. Keeping the sarovar clean is part of this effort, and since this is a closed body, it can get dirty pretty soon. Here you can see a volunteer doing this cleaning up while devotees pass by.

In a previous photo, a volunteer could be seen upto his neck, employed in cleaning the sarovar of the Golden Temple. In this photo, you can see more such volunteers, including with using a net to clean the waters (considered a holy duty, since the sarovar is considered as holy as well).
