The Golden Temple (informal name), is the most sacred and holiest shrine of Sikhism. The official name of the Temple is Harmandir Sahib or Darbar Sahib. It is located in the centre of the old part of Amritsar, in the state of Punjab, India. The Golden Temple sits on a rectangular platform, surrounded by a pool of water called the Amrit Sarovar from which the City is named.
