It is located in the city of Amritsar, which was established by Guru Ram Das Ji, the fourth guru of the Sikhs, and is, also due to the shrine, known as Guru Di Nagri meaning city of the Guru.
The Harmandir Sahib is considered the holiest shrine by Sikhs. The 11th and eternal Guru Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is present inside it. It is moved to the Sri Akal Takhat Sahib at around 10 PM and then moved back from there to Sri Harmandir Sahib at 4.45 AM, site contains the time schedule, please note that there might be changes in the timing as per the season. Its construction was mainly intended as a place of worship for men and women from all walks of life and all religions to come and worship God equally. The Sri Guru Granth Sahib is the holiest literature in the Sikh religion, the tenth Guru of Sikhs, Sri Guru Gobind Singh on 7 October 1708 made it the eternal Sikh Guru and the leader of Sikhism. Anywhere in the world where the Guru Granth Sahib is present is equally holy and precious to Sikhs. Harmandir Sahib was built with four doors to show that every religion or faith is allowed to go in to meditate or just listen to the prayers for peace.

  • Golden Temple : "Shri Darbaar Sahib" have four doors it means it is open in all directions for all kind of people irrespective of cast, color, creed or language. Even if the Prime Minister of President visits the Golden Temple then they also have to come in a line like all other devotees and have to wait for their turn, no discrimination is ever done in any of the sikh Gurudwaras. This is our "Maryada" ... If you want to learn what religion is then look at sikhs...

  • The Golden temple is considered holy by Sikhs because the 11th Guru of Sikhism, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, is present inside it. The Sri Guru Granth Sahib is the holiest thing in the Sikh religion , the tenth Guru of Sikhism, Guru Gobind Singh on 7th October 1708 made it the eleventh Sikh Guru and the leader of Sikhism. Anywhere in the world where the Guru Granth Sahib is present is equally holy and precious to Sikhs. Amritsar is holy to Sikhs, but anywhere the Guru Granth Sahib is present is equally holy. The Sri Guru Granth Sahib is present in every Sikh temple (Gurdwara) in the world. All Sikh temples are equally holy. Moreover, Sikhism does not have priests, they were abolished by Guru Gobind Singh (the 10th Guru of Sikhism) as he felt they had become full of ego and corrupt. The only position he left was a Granthi to look after the Guru Granth Sahib. Any Sikh is free to become Granthi or read from the Guru Granth Sahib.
