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.
