The Great Sikh Shrine is “The Golden Temple” It is situated in Amritsar and is the most exalted of all Sikh shrines, drawing pilgrims from near and far fore centuries. The temple’s story began some four centuries ago when the third Sikh Guru Amar Das asked Guru Ram Das who succeeded him to build a central place for the congregation of the Sikhs. After this, The Guru Arjan Dev completed the work started by Guru Ram Das in the 16th century. The gurdwara has four beautiful entrance doors, called deoris, in all four directions-symbolic of the new faith that made no distinction between caste and creed. People could enter and bow in any direction they preferred or whatever they like.

The descends into the temple unlike most other temples, It has one actually descends as the structure is built below the level of the surrounding area, one is confronted by the stunningly beautiful sanctum sanctorum glimmering in the water of the holy tank that is flanked on all four sides by spotlessly clean marble walkways and pavements.
