The Golden Temple complex was decorated with aromatic flowers brought from India and abroad to mark the occasion. A nagar kirtan was taken out from Gurdwara Sri Ramsar Sahib to the Golden Temple.

As per the Panthic tradition, ‘Jalau’ was displayed in the sanctum sanctorum, the Akal Takht and Gurdwara Baba Atal Rai. The entire complex was illuminated with decoratory lights in the evening.

Over 50 quintal ornamental flowers imported from the Netherlands, Thailand and Singapore embellished the walls of the Akal Takht, the passage leading to the sanctum sanctorum and the Darshani Deori.
