Does Golden Temple have real gold?

The Golden Temple, Harmandir Sahib, is surrounded by other milky white temples and the moat. It is not a large temple, but it is stunning, Built in 1577, the temple's dome is gilded with 750 Kg of pure gold.

The top of our list when travelling to India was to visit Punjab and witness the Golden Temple of Amritsar. The Golden Temple of Amritsar, or Darbar Sahib or Harmandar Sahib is Sikhism's Holiest Site but this temple welcomes everyone to enjoy its beauty and spirituality.It doesn't matter your race, faith or culture. everyone is welcome.Amritsar is located in Punjab and is 460 km from Delhi.

We spent 12 hours on a slow train in general class where locals welcomed us offering food and even their seats to make us more comfortable.We knew this trip was going to be special before we even arrived. Men and Women must cover their heads out of respect before entering the Golden Temple. Long pants and shoulders should also be covered.Like many other holy places around, shoes are not allowed in the temple complex.But this temple has a little twist to walking barefoot. Before entering you walk through a foot bath to ensure your feet are clean. The Golden Temple temple is free to enter. In my humble opinion, I think the Sikh Religion is probably one of the least understood religions on the planet. But we learned quite a bit during our time at the Golden Temple. And we'd like to share what we learned about Sikhism there. Founded in the 15th century by Guru Nanak’s frustration with the caste system and rituals of other religions, Sikhism was formed to be all-inclusive.

Much of the religion is based on science. As people explained Sikhism to us, we began to understand its meaning.
