GOLDEN TEMPLE


The Harmandir Sahib, more popularly known as the Golden Temple is regarded as the most sacred pilgrimage site of the Sikh community. Harmandir Sahib literally means temple of Hari or the Supreme God. Golden temple's exterior is gold-plated and the structure stands in the middle of a square tank. Sikhs from all over the globe come here to pay respect to Guru Granth Sahib and take a dip in the Amrit Saras Kund for self purification. The shrine is not only symbolical of the doctrines of Sikhism but is also a symbol of strength for all Sikhs. Infact, doorways on all four sides of Golden temple indicates that it welcomes Sikhs of all the four castes..
