Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib)

Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib)

The Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) is the holiest shrine in Sikhism and one of India's most visited landmarks — a breathtaking 16th-century golden gurdwara floating on the sacred Amrit Sarovar (Pool of Nectar). Its upper two storeys are clad in 750 kg of gold donated by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The Langar (community kitchen) serves free meals to 100,000 people daily regardless of religion. Open 24 hours. Free entry. The most moving and spiritually transformative experience in North India.
