Golden Temple by Akash

Golden Temple

The Golden temple also known as Sri Harmandir Sahib or Sri Darbar Sahib is the holiest Gurdwara of Sikhism, located in the city of Amritsar, India. It was founded by the fourth Sikh guru, Guru Ram Das in 1577. The fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan later designed the Harmandir Sahib to be built in the centre of this holy tank, and installed the Adi Granth.

As it can be clearly seen from the picture above and the name itself a big portion of the temple is made of Gold and precious stones. The Golden temple is also the largest free kitchen in the world serving vegetarian food to about 100,000 – 300,000 people every day regardless of their race, colour or religion.
