The city of Amritsar in Punjab is known as the Golden City. This nickname stems from the presence of the Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple, which is the most sacred shrine for Sikhs and a prominent landmark covered in gold leaf.
The city was founded by the fourth Sikh Guru, Ram Das Ji, and has long been a significant center for Sikhism. The Golden Temple, with its magnificent architecture and shimmering golden exterior, attracts millions of visitors each year.
