Golden Temple
The Golden Temple, or Sri Harmandir Sahib, located in Amritsar, Punjab, India, is the holiest site in Sikhism and a marvel of spiritual and architectural beauty. Built in the late 16th century under Guru Arjan Dev Ji, its shimmering golden dome reflects on the sacred Amrit Sarovar (pool of nectar), symbolizing purity and peace. Open to all faiths, it welcomes millions yearly, offering free meals (langar) to thousands daily, embodying equality and service. Surrounded by white marble corridors, the temple blends Mughal and Rajput styles, with intricate gold leaf work illuminating its serene ambiance.
