The Harmindar Sahib also known as Golden Temple, meaning ‘abode Of God’ or Darbar Sahib. Is it a Gurudwara located in the city of Amritsar.Punjab. It is preeminent spiritual site of Sikhism. The Gurudwara is built around a manmade pool. It was repeatedly rebuilt by the Sikhs after it became a target of persecution & was destroyed several times by the Muslim armies. Maharaja Ranjit Singh the Sikh Empire, rebuilt it in marble & copper in1809 overlaid the sanctum with gold foil in 1830.This has led to name the Golden Temple.
