The Golden Temple - also known as Darbar Sahib or Sri Harmandir Sahib is an example of the spirit of tolerance and acceptance, is a Gurdwara located in the city of Amritsar, Punjab, India. It is the holiest Gurdwara and the most important pilgrimage site of Sikhism. The Harmandir Sahib was built in 1604 by Arjan Singh, the fifth Sikh Guru. The foundation stone was laid by Mian Mīr, a Muslim divine of Lahore in December, 1588. The temple was destroyed several times by the Muslim armies from Afghanistan and the Mughal Empire. After founding the Sikh Empire, Maharaja Ranjit Singh rebuilt it in marble and copper in 1809, overlaid with gold foil in 1830. The structure thus became known as the Golden Temple.
