Bigger, heavier and more expensive than digital compacts they may be, but if you want to make your travel snaps stand out, an SLR is an essential item on your travels.

Vaisakhi festival, Golden Temple

Vaisakhi is one of the most important Sikh religious festivals, commemorating the tenth Guru's creation of the order of holy soldiers that would defend Sikhism against its enemies.

Celebrations culminate with a large parade through the city as the Sikh Scripture (Guru Granth Sahib) and holy relics are carried in procession (seen in the bus).

Here, devotees clamour to touch the Scripture.
