Golden Temple in punjab

Punjab is known as the land of four rivers.No other stataes in india having five rivers flowing through one state. Punjab is a land where you find history, natural beauty, religion and legendary hospitality combine into one. The famous Golden Temple is often referred to as the emblem of the state. 


But there are more to its credit. History still has its strong imprint in the tourist attractions in Punjab. Religion adds another layer of charm to them. The world's most renowned Sikh pilgrimage is one of the most prominent tourist attractions in Punjab. 


The edifice of gold-laden dome and the marble base enshrine the holy script of Guru Granth Sahib. It took 400kg of gold leaves to cover it. The architecture showcases an exquisite blend of Hindu and Islamic style. More over i wish all the indians to come and visit this place of devotional fragrance.
