Amritsar:
Amritsar, literally means the Pool of Nectar. Amritsar derieves its name
from Amrit Sarovar, the holy tank that surrounds the fabulous Golden Temple.
The Sikh cult largely dominate the city. During centuries, this complex of
Sikh culture grew from a sacred village pond into a spiritual-temporal
center. The passionate pilgrims of the faith of Guru Nanak (15th century),
who united Hindu and Muslim elements and initiated a reformation, flocked
here generation after generation.
History unfolded:
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
Golden temple also known as Sri Harmandir Sahib. Guru Arjan Sahib got its
foundation laid by a muslim saint Hazrat Mian Mir ji of Lahore in 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.
