🔱 About the Golden Temple

Q: What makes the Golden Temple so sacred for Sikhs?
A: The Golden Temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib, is the most revered spiritual site in Sikhism. It symbolizes equality, humility, and divine connection. It’s where the Guru Granth Sahib is read continuously and where Sikhs from across the globe come to seek peace and spiritual clarity.

Q: Can you share the history behind this holy site?
A: The Golden Temple was founded by Guru Ram Das Ji and completed by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in 1604. He also installed the Adi Granth, the sacred scripture, inside the temple. The gold plating came later under Maharaja Ranjit Singh in the 19th century.

Q: What is the meaning of the Amrit Sarovar (holy tank)?
A: The Amrit Sarovar represents spiritual purification. Devotees believe that taking a dip in this sacred water helps cleanse one’s soul. The entire complex is built around this sarovar, emphasizing its significance.

Q: Why is the temple covered in gold?
A: The gold plating was added during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh to honor the temple’s spiritual and cultural significance. It represents the richness of devotion, not material wealth.
