About

Sri Darbar Sahib Amritsar (The Golden Temple Amritsar): ‘The Abode of God’, Standing in the centre of the pool of nectar (Amrit Sarovar), is the epicentre of Sikhism. The pool of nectar (Amrit Sarovar) was got excavated by the 4th Sikh Master Guru Ram Das, and it was brick lined during the times of Guru Arjan Dev (the 5th Sikh Master). The foundation stone of The Harmandir Sahib was laid by a Muslim saint Hazrat Sai Mian Mir from Lahore in 1589. The building of the sanctum sanctorum was completed in the year 1601. During the Gurus time it was a simple building made of small sized bricks called NanakShahi Bricks. It was beautified by the first Sikh rulerMaharaja Ranjit Singh in the year 1803-1830. It is said that at that time nearly 100 kilograms of gold was utilized and due this Gold Work the British named this Sikh Temple as Golden Temple.

From the day one, in Sri Sri Darbar Sahib Amritsar (The Golden Temple Amritsar) either the hymns of Guru Granth Sahib are sung or recited, no idol, no tomb or human worship is there.
