GOLDEN TEMPLE - TOP TEN FAMOUS TEMPLES IN INDIA
Also known as Harmandir Sahib, the Golden Temple is a brilliant gem of Sikh devotion and architectural genius that is located in the center of Amritsar, Punjab. This holy temple was built in the 16th century by the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji. It stands as a testament to the Sikh community’s enduring principles of equality, harmony, and unity.
The Amrit Sarovar, the holy pool encircling the main shrine, mirrors the splendor of the Golden Temple’s facade, which is plated in magnificent gold leaf. The temple represents the inclusivity of all people, regardless of caste or belief, with its four entrances reflecting a harmonious combination of Islamic and Indian architectural forms.
