Golden Temple

The Golden Temple, also known as Sri Harmandir Sahib, is the holiest shrine of Sikhism located in the heart of Amritsar. Founded by Guru Ram Das Ji in 1577 and later completed by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, the temple symbolises equality and universal brotherhood. In the early 19th century, Maharaja Ranjit Singh covered the upper floors with pure gold, giving it the iconic golden look that draws millions of visitors every year. Surrounded by the sacred Amrit Sarovar (holy pool), the temple offers a spiritually uplifting atmosphere day and night. Tourists are fascinated by its glowing reflection in the water, the soulful Gurbani recitation, and the world’s largest free community kitchen (Langar) that serves meals to thousands of people every day.
