Celebrating Guru Nanak Gurpurab

On the 553rd birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, we are taking you to one of Amritsar's greatest attractions and its spiritual hub – Sri Harmandir Sahib – commonly known as the Golden Temple. This is the holiest temple in the Sikh faith. Guru Ramdas Sahib, the fourth of the 10 Sikh gurus, constructed the temple and its pool in the 1500s as a place of worship for all. It is believed that Guru Nanak Dev Ji used to meditate at the holy site long before the temple was built.
