Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 Namaskar Mitra, Have uploaded 8 pics on the Golden Temple Amritsar, http://www.esamskriti.com/html/new_photo.asp?subcatid=45 Hari Mandir or Temple of God was built by Guru Arjun in 1601 in=the centre of the tank (Amrit Sarovar) in the city of Ramdaspur (founded by G=ru Ram Das) that came to be known later as Amritsar or the city that grew a=ound the tank. After Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1780 to 1839) beautified the templ= with gold work, the central dome of the temple and the upper half of the =alls were covered with Gold-leafed copper sheets, the name Golden Temple =ame into being. Quote Khushwant Singh " Of the 15028 names of Gods that appear =n the Adi Granth, Hari occurs over 8,000 times", which is probably how th= Hari Mandir got its name. Hari as most of us know is a name for Lord Vishnu= Enjoy - With Prem and Om sanjeev Discover your Indian Roots at - http://www.esamskriti.com Long Live Sanathan / Kshatriya Dharam.
