The visiting PM prayed at the sanctum sanctorum of the temple

With a saffron-coloured cloth covering his head, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered prayers at the Golden Temple, where he was presented with a traditional robe of honour. In a white kurta-pyjama, the visiting premier prayed at the sanctum sanctorum of the temple during an almost hour-long visit to the shrine. Trudeau was accompanied by his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, and two of his three children, who were also clad in traditional Punjabi outfits.

The PM also tried rolling out rotis

The prime minister and his family also tried rolling out rotis at the Guru Ram Das Jee Langar hall, where devotees do voluntary kitchen work for feeding visitors.

They greeted devotees with folded hands while scores of visitors could be seen holding up their mobile phones to take pictures and videos of the Trudeaus.

Punjab police officials and SGPC task force 'sewadars' (volunteers) formed a security ring around the dignitaries. Canadian security officials were also part of their security cover.

A red-coloured carpet was laid out for the dignitaries

Trudeau, along with a delegation of his ministers and MPs, reached the Golden Temple straight from the Amritsar international airport at around 11:55 am.

A red-coloured carpet was laid out for the dignitaries by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee at the Golden temple complex.

Trudeau and his family took a round or 'parikarma' of the Temple.

PM and his family were given a 'siropa'

The prime minister and his family were given a 'siropa' (robe of honour) inside the shrine.

Among those accompanying the Canadian PM was his defence minister Harjit Sajjan.

Union minister of state (Independent Charge) for Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri and Punjab Cultural Affairs and Tourism minister Navjot Singh Sidhu also accompanied the Canadian PM at the Golden Temple.
