ਹਰਿਮੰਦਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ
The Harmandir Sahib or Darbar Sahib informally referred to as GOLDEN TEMPLE is a prominent sikh
gurdwara located in the city of Amritsar, Punjab(India). During 18th century the Harmandir Sahib was the
site of frequently fighting between the Sikhs and the Mughal or Afgan gorces on the other side and the
gurdwara occasionally surfered damage. In the early 19th century, Maharajaranjit Singh (Maharaja of Sikh empire)
secured the punjab region from the outside attack and covered the upper floors of gurdwara with Gold, which gives it its distinctive appearance and english name of "Golden Temple".
The Golden Temple is considered holy by Sikhs because eternal Guru of Sikhism" The Sri Guru Granth Sahib" is always present inside it and its construction was mainly intended to build a place of worship for men and women from all walks of life and all religion to come and worship.
