The official name of the temple is “harmandir sahib” which means “the abode of God”. It is located on a small island and surrounded by a magnificent complex that is visited by thousands of pilgrims and tourists every day. The temple is open all day and night and has four entrances: Everyone is welcome here, regardless of their religious beliefs.
