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.
