Golden Temple also known as the Harmandir Sahib, located in the city of Amritsar, Punjab, India. It is the preeminent spiritual site of Sikhism. The temple is earthly representation of Milk Ocean of Vishnu/Hari. The word Harmandir means Hari's House. The man made pool (sarovar) represents Milk Ocean was completed by the fourth Sikh Guru, Guru Ram Das, in 1577. In 1604, Guru Arjan placed a copy of the Adi Granth in Harmandir Sahib. The Gurdwara was repeatedly rebuilt by the Sikhs after it became a target of persecution and was destroyed several times by the Mughal and invading Afghan armies. Maharaja Ranjit Singh, after founding the Sikh Empire, rebuilt it in marble and copper in 1809, and overlaid the sanctum with gold leaf in 1830. This has led to the name the Golden Temple.
