Handheld shot inside the Golden Temple Complex , Amritsar, India.
This is the clock tower, one of the buildings beside the waters of the holy pond surrounding the Golden Temple.
The Golden Temple also known as Sri Harmandir Sahib is the holiest Gurdwara of the Sikhs.In 1578 ,the fourth Sikh Guru,Guru Ram Das built a tank - Amritsar which literally means the Tank of Nectar and the city of Amritsar grew up around it.In 1588 ,the fifth Guru,Guru Arjan initiated the construction of a Gurdwara in the centre of this holy tank.The foundation of the Gurdwara was laid by Hazrat Mian Mir on 28th December 1588.The construction was completed in 1604.Guru Arjan installed the Guru Granth Sahib in it.In the early 19th century Maharaja Ranjit Singh secured the Punjab from external attacks and had the upper portion of this beautiful Gurdwara covered with gold.Hence the name Golden Temple.
The Golden Temple is an open house of worship for people from all faiths and walks of life.It has a square plan with four entrances and a circumambulation path around the pool.The complex is a collection of buildings around the sanctum and the pool.One of these is the Akal Takht, the chief centre of religious authority of Sikhism.Additional buildings include a Clock tower(in the photo), the offices of the Gurudwara Committee,a museum and a Langar- a free Sikh community run kitchen which offers a vegetarian meal to all visitors without discrimination.Over 150,000 people from all over the world visit the Golden Temple everyday and thousands eat in the Langar. It is truly an amazing experience.

Sunrise at the Golden Temple, Amritsar, India
Its one of the mornings around Diwali (the Indian festival of Lights) and the Golden Temple is lit up in all its splendor. One of the rare places I have been to in the wee hours of the morning with no security checks whatsoever. Its little wonder then that the temple has four doors symbolizing its openness towards all people and religions.
The temple first built in 1604 was reconstructed in 1764 and in the early 19th century was covered in Gold. The holy texts of the Sikhs the 'Guru Granth Sahib' is housed in this temple.
The 'sarovar' (water body) around the Golden Temple is considered to be containing holy water. It is believed that a dip in the 'sarovar' cleanses one of their sins.
Taken just after sunrise, one is amazed at the pristine marble of the temple premises and the humble people around with thier dazzlingly colourful turbans.
