· India is a diverse country.
· It has a rich historical background.
· The place I am going to talk about here is the golden temple or Harimandir Sahib or the temple of the god .
· It is a place of stupendous beauty and sublime peace.
· It is situated at Amritsar in Punjab.
· The sikhs all over the world daily wish to pay obeisence at Shri Harimandir Sahib.
· Although the 4TH guru of Sikhs guru ram dal had the idea of this temple , but it was made by the 5TH guru Guru Arjan Dev ji .
· It look 16 years (from 1588-1604)to complete this temple.
· The temple is surrounded by a large lake of water, known as the sarover which consists of amrit (holy water or Immortal vector).
· There are 4 entrances to the temple which signifies openness and acceptance.
· People of all castes ,creed ,religion and sex are welcome here .
· However, everyone must cover their head as a mark of respect, remove their shoes and wash feet in the small pool of water .
· People from all nooks and corners of the world flock to see the golden temple .
· I go there once a month to prostrate before the god.
· Whenever we have guests, then a visit to the golden temple is always on our agenda.
