The Golden Temple in Amritsar is a magnificent Sikh Shrine of rare beauty and spiritual power. It symbolises the birthplace of the world's youngest religion, Sikhism. The Golden Temple, visited by over 50,000 people each day, is the repository of the turbulent history of the Sikhs, blending in a most unique way, the spiritual as well as temporal power (Miri and Piri) that is the essence of the Sikh faith.
