<dc:description>Sri Harmandar Saheb Ji, commonly known as The Golden Temple situated in Amritsar, Punjab is the holy place for Sikhs. Amritsar means the 'pool of the nectar of immortality. 

The name comes from the Sarovar(pool) around the Golden Temple. The city of Amritsar was built around this pool which was excavated in 1577. Initiated by the fifth guru of Sikhs, Guru Arjan Sahib, the architecture of Sri Harmandar Saheb Ji became the central place of worship for Sikhs and its construction began in 1581. The Temple was first covered in gold in 1830 by Maharaja Ranjit Singh with 162kg of gold in 7 to 9 layers. Further, between 1995 to 1999, the temple was covered by more than 500kg of gold in 24 layers by skilled artists.
