I came to the Golden Temple first during the day. It was fairly crowded with the devout and tourists alike.
Construction on the Golden Temple, or Harmandir Sahib, began in 1588 by the fourth Guru of Sikhism. It's surrounded by the Sarovar, a holy lake consisting of "Amrit" or Immortal Nectar, which is considered beneficial to swim in. Sikh pilgrims come from around the world to pray there, though members of any religion are welcome to visit, eat and stay in the nearby bunkhouses for no cost.
