Otherwise known as the Harmandir Sahib, the Golden Temple, the holiest temple in Sikhism, is a much-recognised symbol of northern India. Constructed in 1577 on the edge of a large body of holy water, the glinting golden façade of this temple houses the sacred Adi Granth scripture, drawing visitors and worshippers from far and wide. Consider visiting twice: once in the daytime, when the gold glitters, and once at night, when the entire complex is illuminated.
