Introduction:
The Golden Temple (Darbar Sahib, Sri Harmandir Sahib - "The Abode of God") in the city of Amritsar, Punjab, India is the holiest shrine and the most important pilgrimage site for the Sikhs. It is on the Tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. 
Architecture:
The Golden Temple's architecture reflects different architectural practices prevalent in the Indian subcontinent, as various iterations of temple were rebuilt and restored. The Temple is described by Ian Kerr, and other scholars, as a mixture of the Indo-Islamic Mughal and the Hindu Rajput architecture.
The sanctum is a 12.25 x 12.25 metre square with two-storeys and a gold foil dome. This sanctum has a marble platform that is a 19.7 x 19.7 metre square. It sits inside an almost square (154.5 x 148.5 m2) pool called amritsar or amritsarovar (amrit means nectar, sar is short form of sarovar and means pool). The pool is 5.1 metre deep and is surrounded by a 3.7 metre wide circumambulatory marble passage that is circled clockwise. The sanctum is connected to the platform by a causeway and the gateway into the causeway is called the Darshani Ḍeorhi (from Darshana Dvara). For those who wish to take a dip in the pool, the Temple provides a half hexagonal shelter and holy steps to Har ki Pauri.
Bathing in the pool is believed by many Sikhs to have restorative powers, purifying one's karma.[62] Some carry bottles of the pool water home particularly for sick friends and relatives.[63] The pool is maintained by volunteers who perform kar seva (community service) by draining and desilting it periodically.
