this post is about the Golden Temple....it is one of the most important places of worship for Sikhs (i am one)...like u ve the vatican for christians..mecca for muslims...vaishno devi for hindus..n all..loads of religions on earth...It was built by the 4th Guru, Guru Ramdas Ji and the gold was put on by Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
i had driven down to this place with my folks in june last yr..it was an amazing experience..as i drove all the way to Amritsar from Delhi and back..covering about 900+ kms in 2 days..
here are a few pics of the this awesome shrine that i took..

The Golden Temple is divine!!! I feel the mysticism and the awe and my eyes are dancing as I admire the design. The grounds have so much interest.
Beautiful. Breathtaking.
