Golden Temple
Beautifully executed in different materials and techniques, the intricate art on the body of the temple speak of the skills of the craftsmen, and also convey philosophical symbolism. These decorative art forms within and outside the main shrine have been classified as jaratkari (inlaid stone), mohrakashi(frescos with natural pigments), gach(engraved patterns), tukri(fixing of mirror using mercury) and gold embossing. Sikh devotees, for whom the temple is a symbol of freedom and spiritual independence, arrive from all over the world to offer prayers
Guru Ram Das, fourth Sikh guru, laid the foundation of Sarovar of Golden Temple in 1577
