Also known as The Harmandir Sahib, this iconic temple stands tall in the heart of Punjab, India. As you step into its sacred premises, you are greeted by the mesmerizing sight of the temple reflected in the tranquil pool. The Golden Temple holds immense significance for Sikhs worldwide. It represents their faith and devotion towards Guru Nanak's teachings. This holy shrine is surrounded by Amrit Sagar - the lake of Nectar - which adds to its ethereal beauty. However, Punjab's history also bears witness to a dark chapter: Partition. The map of East and West Punjab reminds us of the pain and suffering endured during that time. Yet amidst these scars, The Harmandir Sahib continues to stand as a symbol of resilience and unity. Every day, thousands flock to this spiritual haven seeking solace and enlightenment. Sikhs from all walks of life gather here in front of their beloved Golden Temple with reverence in their hearts.
