 Golden Temple at
Amritsar The site
upon which the Golden Temple is now located was
originally a small lake in the midst of a quiet
forest. A meditation retreat since antiquity, the
serenity of the place once drew Guru Nanak, the
founder of the Sikh religion, who took up
residence upon the lake's shores. After Guru
Nanak's death, his disciples continued to
frequent the site, and over the centuries it has
become the most sacred Sikh shrine in the world. |
