“Sri Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple, holds a central and revered position as the primary place of worship for Sikhs globally. Constructed from white marble adorned with gold leaf, the main structure of Sri Harmandir Sahib is functionally and technically a three-storied marvel. The front facades, overlooking the bridge, feature intricate cusped arches, and the first-floor roof stands at 26 feet and 9 inches. Positioned at the Northwestern corner of the Durgiana Temple, the site is alternatively referred to as Sri Darbar Sahib. It is a significant pilgrimage destination for devotees worldwide and has become a top-rated tourist attraction. Recognised as one of the most revered Hindu temples, Sri Harmandir Sahib welcomes 100,000 worshippers daily to its holy shrine. The idea of establishing a central place of worship for Sikhs and the architectural design of Sri Harmandir Sahib was conceived by Guru Arjan Sahib, the Fifth Nanak. The Golden Temple in Amritsar is a heavenly sanctuary for Sikhs, adorned with a magnificent gold-coated facade, symbolising its spiritual and cultural significance.
