Golden Temple - the main shrine of the Sikhs

Amritsar - the Sikh holy city located in the state of Punjab , an ancient Pyatirechye . The city has arisen around the lake of the same name , in the midst of which rises the main Gurdwara Sikh religion , shrine , known as the Harmandir Sahib or Golden Temple - a place of great tragedy , radically changed the history of India. Sikhism - a relatively young religion , created the first sihskim kuru Nanak in the XV century and combines the features of Hinduism and Islam. The fourth Sikh Guru Ram Das in 1577 dug a pond , called his followers Amritsar . In December 1588 the foundation was laid gurdwaras . Construction lasted 16 years and was completed in 1604. Externally gurdwara is fine - its upper tiers covered with gold , for which she was given the nickname "Golden Temple" . The interior of the temple is , in the opinion of the European, accustomed to luxury and grandeur of Christian churches, to put it mildly , minimalistic - by the Sikh tradition there are no objects and images , with the exception of the original holy book " Adi Granth ", which is stored here since the completion of construction works. Sikh scripture rests under a canopy on a pedestal , decorated with precious stones, next to him all the time there is a person with a fan . Nothing more. Interestingly , assessed whether this restraint in the design of the future Emperor Nicholas II, who visited the temple in 1891 ?
