Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) Amritsar, Punjab, INDIA
Harmandir Sahib (also Hari Mandir, Harimandar and other variants) (Punjabi) is the most sacred gurdwara in all of Sikhism, located in Amritsar, Punjab, India. It was previously known as the Golden Temple, but was renamed in March 2005 by the SGPC. The temple is the most important sacred shrine for the Sikhs, who travel from all parts of the world to enjoy the blissful environments and offer their thanks by giving prayers. In addition, the sacred shrine is increasingly becoming a tourist attraction for visitors from all over the world. The Temple is located at 31°37′12″N, 74°52′37″E.

Sikh Golden Temple
Four of the world's religions - Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism - were founded in India. In addition, India has the third largest number of Muslims in the world and thanks to the European invaders, Christianity also has roots here. Indians weave religion firmly into their lives. They take it very seriously and know their gods like they know their families. We thought it would be interesting to get a taste of some of these religions and the people practicing them. We have selected places in India that will give us a sampling of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Muslim(ism?).
Through reading and observing, I learned a lot about each of these religions. I find it fascinating because so much of the world's history is based on religion - the practice of it, the suppression of it, and the fighting over which one is "right". Learning about religion is like learning about the world.
