Most visitors to the Golden Temple, whether Sikh or not, are humbled by what is quite simply the most <strong>tangibly spiritual place<\/strong> in the country. The most famous and sacred part of the Golden Temple complex is the <strong>Hari Mandir (Divine Temple)<\/strong> or Darbar Sahib (Court of the Lord), which is the beautiful golden structure at the center of a large body of water. The water that surrounds the Hari Mandir is a sacred pool known as the <strong>Amrit Sarovar (Pool of Nectar)<\/strong>. Another major highlight of the Golden Temple complex is the Guru-ka-Langar, a <strong>dining hall<\/strong> where around 35,000 people a day are fed for free by temple volunteers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you wish to know more about the famous Gurudwaras of India, visit our site<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gurudwaraindia.com\" target=\"_blank\"> www.gurudwaraindia.com<\/a>.
