The foundation of Harmandir Sahib was laid by Pir Mian Mir of
Lahore. It came to be known as the Golden Temple after Maharaja Ranjit Singh
rebuilt it, after its destruction by Ahmed Shah Abdali. He embellished the
structure with marble, copper and gold leaf. While at Amritsar, participate in
the peaceful environs of this beautiful shrine. Take a dip in the Amrit Sarovar
Lake. It’s the main attraction that draws millions of devotees, Sikhs as well
as others, to this city every year.
