The Golden Temple (also known as the Harmandir Sahib) or the Darbar Sahib is a gurdwara located in the city of Amritsar, Punjab, India. It is the preeminent spiritual site of Sikhism.

The gurdwara is built around a man-made pool (Sarovar) that was completed by the fourth Sikh Guru, Guru Ram Das, in 1577.

The Mandir is built on a 67-ft square of marble and is a two storied structure. Later Maharaja Ranjit Singh had the upper half of the building built with approximately 400 kg of gold leaf.

The Golden Temple Amritsar India (Sri Harimandir Sahib Amritsar) is not only a central religious place of the Sikhs, but also a symbol of human brotherhood and equality. Everybody, irrespective of cast, creed or race can seek spiritual solace and religious fulfilment without any hindrance. It also represents the distinct identity, glory and heritage of the Sikhs.
