#  Golden Temple 

 



From 1581 to 1603 Guru Arjan, the fifth Sikh Guru, oversaw construction of the Darbar Sahib, the great *gurdwara* at Amritsar. Darbar Sahib means “Divine Court.” After completion of the present structure in the early 19th century, the *gurdwara* became popularly known as the “Golden Temple” because of its massive gilded dome.
