The literary meaning of the word Amritsar means
"holy pool of nectar", and the city is the home of the
famous Golden Temple. The city is the center of spirituality and
culture of the Sikh religion. Golden temple is massive in terms
of architectural expertise. Like other Sikh architecture, Golden
Temple stands in simple majesty. The gilded splendor of its paneling,
dome and minarets shining in the morning light, silhouetted softly
in the water and etched gently across the city is a sight that you
will never forget. For the Sikh community the Harmandir Sahib Gurdwara
as Golden Temple is popularly called, is the final spiritual "vision".
