The Golden Temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib, is the holiest shrine in Sikhism and a symbol of spiritual devotion.
The temple's stunning gold-plated dome and facade make it one of the most beautiful and recognizable religious sites in the world.
The foundation was laid in 1589 by Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Sikh Guru, and completed in 1604.
The temple is built in the middle of a large sacred pool called Amrit Sarovar, which pilgrims bathe in for spiritual purification.
The Golden Temple welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds, emphasizing unity, humility, and service.
The temple serves free meals to thousands daily, embodying the Sikh principles of charity and community service.
