EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the holy city of Amritsar, India, lies the Golden Temple, a symbol of the Sikh religion and a testament to the blending of Eastern and Western architectural influences. The temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib, is situated in the center of the sacred tank, or Amrit Sarovar, which is believed to hold the water of immortality. The temple's name, "Golden Temple," comes from the gilded exterior, which is covered in gold leaf. The image captured in 1913 showcases the temple's stunning beauty and the harmonious coexistence of the past and the present. The clock-tower, a modern addition to the temple complex, was erected by the British during the 1860s and 1870s. The tower, with its Western design, stands in stark contrast to the traditional Eastern architecture of the temple. Yet, it seamlessly integrates into the sacred space, reflecting the open and inclusive nature of Sikhism. The Golden Temple is a place of pilgrimage for Sikhs from around the world, who come to pay their respects and seek solace in the peaceful surroundings. The temple complex also houses a community kitchen, or langar, where thousands of devotees and visitors are fed daily, regardless of their faith or background. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of the Golden Temple and the Sikh religion. The water in the tank, reflecting the temple's golden exterior, symbolizes the eternal and unchanging nature of the faith, while the modern clock-tower represents the passage of time and the ability of different cultures to come together in harmony.
