Soon after reaching Amritsar, Kejriwal headed straight to the Golden temple to offer prayers.

Kejriwal and Mann will also pay obeisance at the Durgiana Mandir and the Sri Ram Tirath Mandir here.
They will later take part in a roadshow in Amritsar to celebrate the party's landslide victory and thank voters.
