Sikh Religious Tours
All the spiritual and historical traditions of the Sikhs as well as faith and architectural brilliance converge from all directions at the Golden Temple, Amritsar. This soothing religious building stands in stark contrast to its surroundings that are crowded to say the least as the areas around the temple have developed according to the status of the shrine. However, the perimeter walls cocoon it from the crowded surroundings and protect the piety of the shrine. Enter the temple complex and bow to the dominating white marble walls that sort of take you in their protective custody. The main shrine is surrounded by a water tank which in turn is surrounded by a broad pavement on which the pilgrims undertake a ritual walk round the shrine which is considered very sacred. The water tank is called the Amrit Pool and the city Amritsar also takes its name from the same tank. The shining Golden Temple appears to be floating on the sparkling water surface.
