The Harmandir Sahib (Punjabi: ਹਰਿਮੰਦਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ), also Darbar Sahib (Punjabi: ਦਰਬਾਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ, Punjabi pronunciation: [dəɾbɑɾ sɑhɪb] and informally referred to as the "Golden Temple", is the holiest Sikh gurdwara located in the city of Amritsar, Punjab, India. The city was founded in 1574 by the fourth Sikh guru, Guru Ram Das. The Harmandir Sahib was designed by the fifth guru, Guru Arjan, who had the cornerstone laid by the Muslim Sufi saint Sai Hazrat Mian Mir on 28 December 1588. Guru Arjan completed the Adi Granth, the holy scripture of Sikhism, in 1604 and installed it in the gurdwara.
There are four doors to get into the Harmandir Sahib, which symbolize the openness of the Sikhs towards all people and religions. The present-day gurdwara was rebuilt in 1764 by Jassa Singh Ahluwalia with the help of other Sikh Misls. In the early nineteenth century, Maharaja Ranjit Singh secured the Punjab region from outside attack and covered the upper floors of the gurdwara with gold, which gives it its distinctive appearance and its English name.
The Harimandir Sahib is considered holy by Sikhs. The holiest text of Sikhism, the Guru Granth Sahib, is present inside the gurdwara during daytime and the holy book goes for Sukhasan during the night time. Its construction was mainly intended to build a place of worship for men and women from all walks of life and all religions to come and worship God equally. Over 100,000 people visit the holy shrine daily for worship
Commissioned by Nawab Bahawal Khan (V) 1n 1904 and was dedicated to one of wives of Nawab.Also known as Bahawal Garh.
Patan est une ville du Népal située dans le district de Lalitpur. Ancienne ville royale, autrefois capitale et ville d'art, Lalitpur (la Cité de la Beauté) est située à 6 kilomètres au sud du centre de Katmandou, mais avec l'extension des deux villes la seule démarcation visible est la rivière Bagmati. Au recensement de 2011, la ville comptait 220 802 habitants.
Patan était auparavant un grand centre d'enseignement bouddhique, il reste de nombreux monastères éparpillés dans la ville. Choisie par l'empereur Ashoka, pour y élever l'un des quatre grands stūpas qui la ceinturent, situés aux points cardinaux,
Hormis le palais et la place du Darbâr, la cité comporte nombre de bâtiments intéressants :
le Krishna Mandir datant de 1630
le Hiranyavarma Vihâra, ancien monastère bouddhiste dédié à Avalokiteshvara (XIIe siècle)
le Machchendranâth de 1408, dédié à Indra
le Minnath temple bouddhiste dédié à Avalokiteshvara
le temple de Kumbeshvar (1392) dédié à Shiva
Le temple de Narasingha (ou Narasimha) se dresse sur la place Darbar
Il a été construit en 1589 Probablement dédié à Shiva, le temple est cruciforme dans le plan . Il comprend un sanctuaire placé au centre couronné d’un grand sikhara effilé dans le style nord de l’Inde, surmonté d’un disque amalaka et finial.
Le sanctuaire central est construit avec des piliers d’angle de briques encadrant des portes en bois (une de chaque côté) qui donnent théoriquement accès, bien que de nos jours ceux-ci sont maintenus en permanence fermés.

You can find more accurate and extensive information about what a Sadhu is on Wikipedia or many other websites. A Sadhu is a Hindu monk who has embraced asceticism as a philosophical doctrine. A Sadhu seeks to purify the spirit by denying material or worldly pleasures, renouncing possessions through abstinence, in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment through penance and austerity. Sadhu is a Sanskrit word that can be translated as "holy man," someone who abandons their former life to follow a path of renunciation and spiritual discipline. Many of them live in nature or in communities. They often wear saffron-colored robes, but they can also wear orange or yellow robes, or other types of clothing, but primarily in these colors. These colors symbolize the "fire of renunciation." Many of them, especially the Naga Sadhu ascetics, choose not to wear clothing on their upper bodies, leaving their upper torsos bare, as in the photograph. Although more commonly found in India, some Sadhus go completely naked, covered in gray ash (Vibhuti), which represents the transient nature of their bodies on this spiritual journey. Sadhus typically have very long, matted hair (Jata), often gathered on top of the head in a bun, or their dreadlocks are wrapped in a turban, which may be yellow or orange. These characteristics help distinguish them from other types of devotees or pilgrims. Perhaps one of the main indicators that you are in the presence of a Sadhu is the facial paint (Tilak) they wear on their foreheads, usually yellow, red, white, or a combination of these colors. When they apply paint to their foreheads, creating vertical lines or U-shaped patterns (Urdhva Pundra), as in the photo, it signifies that you are in the presence of a Vaishnava Sadhu (or Vairagi), devotees of the god Vishnu or his incarnations such as Rama and Krishna. They usually paint one or two vertical lines that meet at the base, forming a "U" or "V," representing the footprint of Vishnu. They generally wear saffron-colored clothing, and some wear white. A Vaishnava Sadhu is often found in Patan Durbar Square (Lalitpur is known as Patan) because that is where the Krishna Mandir, the stone temple dedicated to Krishna (Vishnu), is located and dominates the square. They are also often found in Kathmandu Durbar Square, seated near the Vishnu temple there. When a Sadhu paints horizontal lines (Tripundra) on his forehead, you are looking at a Shaiva Sadhu, a devotee of the god Shiva. The three horizontal lines are made with sacred ash (vibhuti). They usually wear saffron-colored clothing, and some cover their bodies with ash. They often wear their hair matted (jatas). Shaiva Sadhus are usually found in the Durbar of Kathmandu (Basantapur), especially on the steps of the Shiva-Parvati Temple and also near the statue of Kaal Bhairav. There is a third group of ascetics besides the Shaivas and Vaishnavas: the Shakta Sadhus, who are less numerous. Their identification is more complex because they often overlap with Tantric traditions. They are devotees of the Mother Goddess (Shakti) and are therefore called Shaktas. Unlike the Shaivas (followers of Shiva) or Vaishnavas (followers of Vishnu), the Shakta Sadhus focus their practice on the dynamic power of the Goddess in her many forms, such as Durga, Kali, or Taleju. The markings they wear on their foreheads (tilak) can vary depending on the specific deity they worship. Some paint circles or dots on their foreheads, often a large red dot (bindu) made of kumkum (vermilion powder), which represents the third eye or the center of creative energy. Others often wear a mixture of lines: They frequently use a combination of a red mark (Shakti) on a base of white ash or sandalwood, symbolizing the union of energy with pure consciousness. Still others use horizontal lines with a prominent red dot in the center to indicate that their primary devotion is to the Goddess within the Shaiva-Tantric tradition. This third group of Sadhus are those found in the Durbar of Bhaktapur, known as the City of Devotees, which has a strong connection to the worship of the Mother Goddess (Shakti). The Nyatapola Temple is dedicated to Siddhi Lakshmi, a Tantric form of the goddess Durga (Shakti). Also located in this Durbar is the temple of Taleju Bhawani, the goddess of the Malla kings, a fundamental Shakti deity in the Kathmandu Valley. There are three Durbar in this valley. The existence of these three main squares stems from the fact that for centuries, the Kathmandu Valley was divided into three rival kingdoms, each king vying to build the most magnificent temples and palaces, resulting in this extraordinary concentration of art and architecture. These squares were the center of political, social, and religious life, and it was here that kings were crowned and the most important festivals were celebrated. The word Durbar comes from the Persian word (darbār) and literally means "palace" or "royal court." In the context of Nepal, a "Durbar Square" is the main square located in front of the former royal palaces and temples. The three Durbars are those mentioned above: Patan Durbar Square (in Lalitpur, known simply as Patan), with its strong Buddhist influence; Kathmandu Durbar Square (Basantapur), in the capital city; and Bhaktapur Durbar Square. The three Durbar Squares of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur are part of the Kathmandu Valley Monuments, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Postscript:
Language translators literally translate the word "Underlands" as "lowlands." But the translation isn't accurate, especially in the context of Andrew Bird's song. "Underland" is a more literary or metaphorical term, used by Andrew Bird to refer to what lies beneath the surface. The song doesn't speak of lowlands, valleys, or plains, but of a journey into the depths of our consciousness. A journey to the underworld, if you prefer, to the "subterranean lands," to a subterranean and psychological space within us. That underworld, or inner subworld, is represented by the space of the subconscious hidden beneath our skin. If you decide to descend into the dark depths of your mind, if you decide to journey into the hidden and strange interior that exists within us all, "Underlands" might be the perfect song for this journey.

To pen-down the philosophy, ideology, the inner and outer beauty, as well as the historical legacy of Sri Darbar Sahib is a momentous task. It is a matter of experience rather than a of description.
As advised by Sri Guru Amar Dass Ji (3rd Sikh Guru), Sri Guru Ram Dass Ji (4th Sikh Guru) started the digging of Amrit Sarovar (Holy Tank) of Sri Darbar Sahib in 1577 A.D., which was later on brick-lined by Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji (5th Sikh Guru) on December 15, 1588 and He also started the construction of Sri Darbar Sahib. Sri Guru Granth Sahib (scripture of the Sikhs), after its compilation, was first installed at Sri Darbar Sahib on August 16, 1604 A.D. A devout Sikh, Baba Budha Ji was appointed its first Head Priest.
The Golden Temple Amritsar India (Sri Darbar Sahib Amritsar) has a unique Sikh architecture. Built at a level lower than the surrounding land level, The Gurudwara teaches the lesson of egalitarianism and humility. The four entrances of this holy shrine from all four directions, signify that people belonging to every walk of life are equally welcome.

The textures attracted me to make this picture. The scribbles on the walls , it's funny but reminds the human nature.
It was very hot outside but damn cool inside because of the plaster of paris construction. Very interesting place to visit.
Gravesend, a town in Kent in the South East of England, welcomed its first Sikhs in the 1950’s. Most of the Sikhs in Gravesend arrived during the 1960’s, and there has been a steady increase in numbers ever since. Now, there are estimated to be about 15,000 Sikhs in the area, over 15 per cent of the population of Gravesham, which now includes Gravesend. Up to the late 1960’s, Sikhs gathered in a house in Edwin Street for religious services, and then moved to the Gurdwara in Clarence Place, previously a Church, which was the focus of the community until 2010.
By the late 1990’s, the community had outgrown these premises, and the Gurdwara purchased an area of land off Saddington Street, adjacent to their existing football field, Sports Centre and Education Centre. This would make it possible to combine all the main activities on one site. The Gurdwara Committee worked closely with the wider community to develop the brief for the project to construct a new Gurdwara on the site. It was clear from the beginning that the community wanted the building to reflect Indian cultural origins, and at the same time provide facilities suitable for Sikhs living in modern day Britain. The 8.5 acre site offered the chance to create a landmark project reflecting the growing confidence of British Sikhs.
Under the leadership, foresight and ambition of the late Gurdev Singh Raipur, then President, the Gurdwara Committee appointed Calfordseaden as Architects for the development, with local resident Harbhajan Singh Biring (Teja) as the lead architect. The project, funded entirely by the local community, was completed under, then President Jaspal Singh Dhesi. The Gurdwara set up their own construction company, GNG Construction Ltd, to take advantage of skills that existed in the local community. However, for the detailed stonework and woodcarving, specialist companies in India were identified to provide the relevant expertise.

Darbar Mahal was commissioned by Nawab Bahal Khan (V) in 1904, and was one of its kinds among other forts that had been built around that time. Originally conceived as the “Bhawal Gerh”; the fort was completed in 1905 and was dedicated to one of the wives of the Nawab.
A flight of marbled steps behind the Darbar Sahib descending into the sacred pool, marks the spot where, according to tradition, Guru Arjan made the first cut as the digging started in 1590. Pilgrims go down these steps to take Charanamrit or palmsful of holy water to sip.
La place du Darbâr est une place située à Patan, regroupant un ensemble de monuments historiques classés au Patrimoine mondial, au travers d'un ensemble appelé, vallée de Katmandou. Les bâtiments entourant la place ont été fortement endommagés, avec certains effondrés, par le séisme de 2015 au Népal.

Multan (Pakistan) is one of the oldest cities in the world and was a major center of Sufism in the middle of the last millennium. Today, the shrines of the saints are a reminder of that glorious bygone era. Here, I have captured the most magnificent of them all: the shrine of Shah Rukn-e-Alam. A masterpiece of pre-Mughal architecture, it is an octogonal structure with three tiers built entirely of red brick. Built at the site of the former Multan Fort, it commands an elevated location with sweeping views of the city below. My favorite monument in a country gifted with many.

Le darbâr (persan : دربار, parfois rendu par sa translittération anglaise, durbar) est une audience publique donnée par un souverain de l'Inde, un empereur moghol, un râja ou tardivement par le vice-roi des Indes.
Les Grands Moghols donnaient un darbâr chaque jour après sept heures du matin.
La place du Darbâr est une place située à Katmandou au Népal qui doit son nom de darbâr à la cour qu'y tenaient les rois du Népal jusqu'en 1886. Elle regroupe un ensemble de temples hindous et de palais royaux hérités de la dynastie Malla et de la dynastie Shah.
