Golden Temple Tours

Golden Temple

Golden Temple, also known as Sri Harmandir Sahib and Sri Darbar Sahib, is the holiest shrine of Sikhs. The Sikhs from all over the world visit Golden Temple to pay obeisance.

It was Guru Arjun Sahib who conceived the idea of creating this magnificent religious structure, and he himself designed the architecture of Golden Temple. The architecture of Golden Temple is marked by a rich synthesis of best of Hindu and Islamic architectural traditions. It was in 1570 that the construction work on the holy Sarovar (the tank) and the town started. The foundation of the sarovar was laid by renowned sufi saint Hazrat Mian Mir of Lahore. The building work was completed in 1601 A.D. There are four entrances to the temple. Guru Arjun Sahib installed Guru Granth Sahib, in Golden Temple. The temple was later attacked by the Afghans under Ahmed Shah Abdali and was substantially rebuilt in the 1760s.
Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) is accessible to every person without any distinction of caste, creed, sex and religion. The only restrictions are that the person must not drink alcohol, eat meat or smoke cigarettes or other drugs while in the holy shrine.
