Heaven on earth I have been fortunate enough to visit Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) on upto 15 occasions and the spiritual atmosphere is felt as soon as you enter the main gate. It is a great place to reflect on ones own values and morals as the religious sermons promote equality and openness to others as reflected by the 4 gates to signify acceptance from all parts of the world. Take time to enjoy the free meal in the langar hall where wealth ha no value as all persons sit on the floor and eat together regardless of colour creed, religion or wealth. Truly a experience not to be missed!

Sri Harmandir Sahib, also known as Sri Darbar Sahib or Golden Temple, (on account of its scenic beauty and golden coating for English speaking world), is named after Hari (God) the temple of God. The Sikhs all over the world, daily wish to pay visit to Sri Amritsar and to pay obeisance at Sri Harmandir Sahib in their Ardas. Guru Arjan Sahib, the Fifth Nanak, conceived the idea of creating a central place of worship for the Sikhs and he himself designed the architecture of Sri Harmandir Sahib. Earlier the planning to excavate the holy tank (Amritsar or Amrit Sarovar) was chalked out by Guru Amardas Sahib, the Third Nanak, but it was executed by Guru Ramdas Sahib under the supervision of Baba Budha ji. The land for the site was acquired by the earlier Guru Sahibs on payment or free of cost from the Zamindars (landlords) of native villages. The plan to establish a town settlement was also made. Therefore, the construction work on the Sarovar (the tank) and the town started simultaneously in 1570. The work on both projects completed in 1577 A.D. The land for the site was bought by the Guru Ram Das Sahib on payment from the Zamindars (landlords) of native villages.
Guru Arjan Sahib got its foundation laid by a muslim saint Hazrat Mian Mir ji of Lahore on 1st of Magh, 1645 Bikrmi Samvat (December, 1588). The construction work was directly supervised by Guru Arjan Sahib himself and he was assisted by the prominent Sikh personalities like Baba Budha ji, Bhai Gurdas ji, Bhai Sahlo ji and many other devoted Sikhs.
Unlike erecting the structure on the higher level (a tradition in Hindu Temple architecture), Guru Arjan Sahib got it built on the lower level and unlike Hindu Temples having only one gate for the entrance and exit, Guru Sahib got it open from four sides. Thus he created a symbol of new faith, Sikhism. Guru Sahib made it accessible to every person without any distinction of Caste, creed, sex and religion.
The building work completed in 1601 A.D. on Bhadoon Sudi 1st, 1661 Bikrmi Samvat (August/September,1604). Guru Arjan Sahib installed newly created Guru Granth Sahib, in Sri Harmandir Sahib and appointed Baba Budha ji as its first Granthi i.e. the reader of Guru Granth Sahib. After this event it attained the status of Ath Sath Tirath . Now the Sikh Nation had their own Tirath, a pilgrimage center.

Harmandir Sahib is a divine place....it feels like you have not lived i for you haven't been there..no caste, no religion just humanity....the one who feeds other is of highest caste and class... you have a community kitchen that tells you the worth of life is to take care of humanity.

Pilgrims, devotees and travellers from all around India and foreign visit the Golden Temple to be awed by its splendor and ambience.
It is renowned for its mesmerising architecture, friendly volunteers, peaceful vibes and the daily langars. Sikhs revere the Golden Temple as it constantly reassures their faith in their religion and humanity. It is a symbol of universal brotherhood.

WHAT a lovely place ! It is a most peaceful place in the world i have ever seen in my life. You will get a peaceful and religious aroma there. And ofcourse AMRITSAR is fully filled with lots of food,dressing and thiers farms.
Words cannot define the feeling you have once you are here. Ambience after sunset is magnificent. Felt astonished after seeing how perfect all processes inside are and how so many people contribute to keep the process going on 24X7
The temple is built around a man-made pool (sarovar) that was completed by Guru Ram Das in 1577. Guru Arjan the fifth Guru of Sikhism, requested Sai Mian Mir a Muslim Pir of Lahore to lay its foundation stone in 1589. In 1604, Guru Arjan placed a copy of the Adi Granth in Harmandir Sahib, calling the site Ath Sath Tirath (lit. "shrine of 68 pilgrimages"). The temple was repeatedly rebuilt by the Sikhs after it became a target of persecution and was destroyed several times by the Muslim armies from Afghanistan and the Mughal Empire. The army led by Ahmad Shah Abdali, for example, demolished it in 1757 and again in 1762, then filled the pool with garbage. Maharaja Ranjit Singh after founding the Sikh Empire, rebuilt it in marble and copper in 1809, overlaid the sanctum with gold foil in 1830. This has led to the name the Golden Temple.
Best place for inner peace. Multiple things to visit over there like museum, near by Gurudwara Sahib, it will help in exploring the Sikh religion from depth. Each and every details are present over there, you get to know about Sikh gurus, Sikh devoties, breave Sikh soldiers who contributed to a larger extent.

I don't think I can ever define what Golden Temple is to me. The feeling at the very first look is undescribable. If you are going to the North you can definitely not miss out on this.
I request everybody irrespective of their cast or community one should visit this place. It is extremely peaceful you can spend your entire day here mesmerizing the beauty of the temple. You can also help in langar and earn waheguru's blessing. There also arrangements for visitors to stay and I guess the costing would be minimal too.
It's a beautiful spot, every year that I've gone there I've been left speechless by the beauty, you can't really get used to it... Don't go on national holidays or Sundays otherwise the crowd would be too much to handle, we went on a weekday at 6am so it was just as easy as walking in, no line or anything.
It is a very good religious place for visit any people who love to religion of the Punjab religion harmandir Sahibplease busy on this place a carefully because the crowd was very very much so we carefully to the visit and very best feeling on this place was the pleasure in heaven for visiting one time in a life is the life was a very big long live
When Everything Goes Wrong I Have The Place To Go. Harmandir Sahib also know as 'Golden Temple'. This place is preeminent spiritual site of sikhism and also a symbol of human brotherhood. SSA.
There is always been a fascination of coming into this place.. Have always felt extremely happy internally visiting this place. I always want to come and seek blessings from the Almighty. Best place in the world for everyone who seeks true love and joy
Harmandir sahab famous as the golden temple is a beautiful place. It is so calm and peaceful to sit beside the sarovar ji especially at night when the reflection of the harmandir sahab is visible in the sarovar below it. It is soo fascinating . I would really suggest everyone to visit this place and sit here all night not preferably on weekends due to the rush but yet it is very fascinating place.the golden colour makes the gurudwara looks so elegant and special and the people are services are also good.
Peaceful place. 24 hrs Langar and it was very tasty. It's very crowded at day time. You can visit at night time as there is no line and you can get the darshan early. Evening time is the best. They don't allow to carry backpack and you have to submit it at the entrance. They take minimal fee to keep your things safe and locked
Peace of mind very cleaned and supportive gaurds all around free 24*7 langar(free food)and accomodations are also available at free and also reasonable price however most cheaper is free(guru ramdas ji sarai) to saraghari sarai RS1100/ day. All the facilities are available

Must visit for everyone to feel the purity and the very essence of humanity. It also will make you understand the real faith behind Sikhism. The golden temple has a very high significance in Indian history and this holy place is a must visit for people traveling to North India.
Organised parking. Public transport is required from parking to entry of premises. Starts with all the shops which displays culture and gives you easy shopping option. Then you enter the temple. Everything is organised and well kept and clean. The whole aura is a bliss and special in itself.
Great experience, architecture of this golden temple is remarkable, there is no other comparison to it. Also the crowd is good. Very attracting place. One must visit throughout their lifetime.
Must do 1. 4.30am : go with Palki (that takes the holy book In a carriage over devotees shoulders) from books resting place in night to main shrine. 2. Dip in holy water. Even if winter water feels warm and very clean. 3. Langar (free meal) 4. Service : you can help in kitchen, peel onions, mop floor, clean/collect utensils
Golden Temple or Harminder Singh Gurudwara is an iconic place. The holy worship place for the Sikh community is a must visit place for everyone. This place has a different vibe and energy. The amount of peace and calmness you feel once you step in here can only be experienced and is hard to describe. The temple is open from 3am - 10 pm everyday. Do try the 'langar' served at the Gurudwara. The simple food tastes heavenly.
Best place to visit in Amritsar. It is not a just a place, it is the definition of Sikhism , the way they manage whole thing, the environment of temple's campus is such peaceful and relaxing.. you will definitely love it. Visit once in your life. It was my second visit and still I didn't get bored. I am gonna love it every time.
1. Very holy place and also well managed and maintained place of worship. 2. Looks stunning when lit at night. Hence must see the temple at day as well as night. 3. Place of historical and religious importance. Historical info provided in the temple premised also sheds light on history of temple. 4. Langar /Kitchen serves food and tea (Darjeeling tea) to everyone whosoever visits the temple. 5. We went on Vaisakh and there was big crowd . Tourists and out of the state visitors should avoid the festival days to avoid huge rush and crowd. 6. There are fans for the people who stand in the lines so can get some respite during hot days in summer. 7. Keep a day free to experience the visit to the temple.
My favorite place..... In India Such a nice feeling i got after visiting this place.. The gurudwara atmosphere is too pleasant.. You will get internal peace after visiting this place..
Golden Temple was also known as harmandir sahib within punjab. But nowadays it s called as Darbar Sahib .It s an gurudwara, most religious place for any sikh on this world. Every singh on this earth wants to come here & do seva ( free More
There is a lot to be said about India and about it being one of the most spiritual countries. Opinions are divided though and it is always a point of arguing. The Golden Temple of Amritsar and it's surrounding area, however, are not. Here is where you find spiritual India. There is a cloud a magic around the temple which grows more intense the more you approach it. The waiting time is worth it. It is possible to sleep in the temples around, free food is served and people live in a communal agreement of interconnectedness.
Its an excellent place on earth. All are equal, whether it is rich person or poor. The environment here is peaceful and very cool. A lot of people visit this place daily and the staff here are very great who manage the crowd. At langar they provide food for all and its good to see all sitting at one place for langar. Hopefully who ever visit this place definitely fall in love with this place.
