The Golden Temple in Amritsar

Home to the world famous Golden Temple, the 400-year-old city of Amritsar is the most important seat of Sikh history and culture.

Literally a Pool of Nectar, Amritsar derives its name from Amrit Sarovar, the holy tank that surrounds the splendid Golden Temple. Guru Ramdas, the fourth Guru of the Sikh faith, founded Amritsar in 1579. He constructed a pool on land gifted by the Mughal Emperor Akbar and called it Amritsar.

The Golden Temple is considered the holiest place of worship for people of the Sikh religion.  There are four doors to get into the Harmandir Sahib (this is the name of Golden Temple), which symbolize the openness of the Sikhs towards all people and religions.  Its construction was mainly intended to build a place of worship for men and women from all walks of life and all religions to come and worship God equally. Over 100,000 people visit the holy shrine daily for worship.
