The beautiful harmandir sahib

I don't normally get excited over temple's but the golden temple is not like any other temple. The people in the temple worked for free. The healing sounds of the temple made me relaxed. Built in 1577, the temples dome is made of 750 kg of pure gold, it represents an inverted lotus flower, a symbol of Sikh devotees. The architecture of the temple is a blend of Islamic and Hindu styles. The temple provided food to all the people who visited. As I was coming out of the temple, there was no beggar outside..which made think of all the temple's i had visited till now. When I went to get my shoes i thanked the guy, and all he said was "don't thank me, its the lord's work, just pray". I left the place with a sense of love for the people, people who did all the work in the temple without any expectations of getting anything back.
