Golden Temple Amritsar


      Amritsar is the holy city of India, nicknamed the Golden Temple. So it’s only natural that Amritsar has a gold-plated temple. This temple, Harmandir Sahib, is the holiest of its kind in all of India and contains not just one but three sacred ponds. It also has an altar for fire-walking ceremonies called “The Aarti Table” and many other cultural artifacts from North India. The Harmandir Sahib is also known as “Darbar Sahib”, which means “the palace of the Lords”

The Harmandir Sahib has two main entrances, and there are four entrances on each side. This was done to symbolise religious equality for all people regardless of caste, creed or status. The Harmandir Sahib is designed as a pool; in its centre lies a artificial pool called “Sarovar”. The Sarovar represents the body of the Supreme Creator God, which lies at the origin of all existence. The Harmandir Sahib has three doors: One facing west towards the setting sun and One facing east towards the rising sun. The third door is northeast, facing the direction from which Guru Nanak Dev  departed to set out on his journey. This door is known as “Guru ka Ghati”. The fourth door is to the south, which holds the water of the three rivers and is called “Aamna ke Ghati”. The Aamna means four. Harmandir Sahib translates as “the abode of Shiva”, where all divine melody flows in like music and peace. 

A crystal bridge connects the sacred temple to an ancient building; this building was once used for Sikh martial arts training but now serves as the home of the Akal Takht, which translates into “The Throne of The Almighty”. This was where the highest religious, military tribunal would convene when justice was needed. 

Amritsar must be on your bucket list.
