Book Description
About the Book
The Golden Temple in Amritsar is a magnificent Sikh shrine of rare beauty and spiritual power. It symbolises the birthplace of the world's youngest religion, Sikhism. The Golden Temple, visited by over 50,000 people each day, is the repository of the turbulent history of the Sikhs, blending in a most unique way, the spiritual as well as temporal power (Miri and Piri) that is the essence of the Sikh faith.

Amritsar was founded in 1577 as Ramdaspura by the fourth Sikh Guru, Guru Ram Das, whom it was originally named after. Guru Ram Das began the excavation of the Amrit Sarovar, the pool of nectar. It was however his son and successor, Guru Arjan Dev, who not only completed the work of the Sarovar but also erected in it's cool heart, a wonderful Temple that would, in years and centuries to come, shower a great spiritual force on all who visit it.
