Feeling of Spirituality - Golden Temple

A place where you go behind your caste and religion bias and differences. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are from, which community you belong to, all are welcome and all are accepted here.

“Golden Temple” is situated in the city of ‘Amritsar’, spread across a huge area consisting of outer area and inner area and seems like a city of its own.

The outer area comprises shops and eateries. The inner area is the temple area with four entrances. The main sanctum is situated in center of a man-made pool (which has given the name to the city Amritsar, amrit which means nectar and sar which is short for sarvoar which means pool). Temple is maintained by the trust and also the devotees who volunteer for upkeep of the temple, serving is considered as a blessing and people do it wholeheartedly. Temple is also famous for langar (free meals) all throughout the day, which are extremely nutritious and equally delicious.

Temple sanctum is covered entirely in Gold. The look of temple in gold, situated between the pool and the surrounding covered in marble looks marvelous. Pictures just can’t do justice to the beauty of the place.

The whole premises feels so holy, spiritual and serene that one cannot describe the feeling, it should be experienced. You could just sit there entire day and still wont have enough of it.

Its an amazing feeling of content. Very much recommended.
