This 'Temple of Tea Service' will also be on Anand Mahindra's Amritsar travel list

Mahindra Group chief Anand Mahindra, who has over 10 million followers on Twitter, has shared a video of an octogenarian tea seller from Amritsar and said that he will visit the tea stall during his next visit to the city of Golden Temple. Sharing a nearly 7-minute video of Amritsar Walking Tours from this Twitter handle, the business tycoon said: "There are many sights to see in Amritsar. But the next time I visit the city, apart from visiting the Golden Temple, I will make it a point to visit this ‘Temple of Tea Service’ that Baba has apparently run for over 40 years. Our hearts are potentially the largest temple."

According to the video, the octogenarian tea seller Ajit Singh, popularly known as Baba, has been selling tea under a large banyan tree and the stall is located in the heart of Amritsar city. He has been selling tea at this place for over 40 years. One of his customers in the video says that Ajit Singh sees serving tea as some sort of seva or service and money is not is main concern.

Despite his old age, Ajit Singh does everything on his own and though utensils from the stall have been stolen many times, he never complained, the customer said in the video.


After Mahindra posted the video, many social media users posted that they will visit the tea stall when they come to Amritsar.


"Amidst the timeless charm of Amritsar, under the embracing canopy of a majestic tree, a venerable man gracefully serves the elixir of Indian Tea. With every cup poured, he weaves a tapestry of tradition, warmth, and hospitality, earning the title of the "Temple of Tea Service," posted @verulkar_rahul.

Tagging the Prime Minister's Office, another user requested PM Narendra Modi to mention about him in his Mann Ki Baat radio programme. "Great sight. God bless him and his family with health wealth and prosperity. Nature's gift to him," he tweeted.
