The Golden Temple in India, which is often called the “Darbar Sahib” is one of the oldest places of worship for the Sikhs and is located in Amritsar, Punjab in India. The entire top of the temple is made of pure gold and thus adds a lot of pride and beauty to the entire temple. The temple is surrounded by a small man-made lake which has a lot of fish in it. This lake is said to consist of holy waters.
There is also a small Sikh Museum near the Ghanta Ghar, or clock house, in Amritsar which is very rich in information.

During the earlier days, this place was a huge lake surrounded by a thin line of forests. It is also said that Buddha journeyed here to find the real meaning of life and spent some considerable time in this place. It was during the time of the Fifth Guru, Arjana when the Temple was finally built in 1604.
