Golden Temple , Amritsar, INDIA.

A visit to a historical place is always an exciting experience. It is a fascinating adventure. I had one such experience during the last summer vacations, when I visited Amritsar.

With my family, I started our journey at 8:30 am by train.From Jammu and reached Amritsar in 4 hours at 12:30 pm.After some rest, we undertook a visit to Amritsar. Amritsar is a historical city. We visited the Golden Temple first. The Golden Temple in Amritsar is the holiest shrine of the Sikh region. This Temple has been destroyed many times and had been rebuilt again. It was built during the reign of Akbar, who had great respect for all religions. The domes of the Temple are covered in gold.

Golden Temple of Amristar is also known as Harmandar Sahib or Darbar Sahib. It is a great pilgrimage centre of the Sikhs. The holy temple was completed under the direct control and supervision of Guru Arjan Dev. It's foundation stone was laid by a renowned Muslim divine, Mian Mir. It was given four doors, one in each direction. It has a large pool around it called as Sarovar.The beauty of the Golden temple increases at night.

We saw many volunteers called as 'Sevaks' who were dedicated to serve the god by cleaning the floor, serving the food, cleaning the used plates & glasses etc. We were very touched by the dedication of volunteers and their service.

It was amusing to see fearless fish which were roaming near our feet at the Sarovar which surrounded the sacred temple. As we entered the temple, we were thrilled to see the architecture of the temple. We had dinner at the Lungar where everyone was treated alike by the Sevaks.We sat in the temple premises for one hour and felt the immense peace of mind.

By noon, we had completed the tour of Golden Temple and returned back. I enjoyed my trip to the Golden Temple very much. It was really an unforgettable experience which apart from being intellectually rewarding gave us a glimpse of our country's proud history.
