2 You know that the place of worship for Sikhs is Gurudwara, but which is considered the most significant and holy of Sikh shrines?

Harimandir Sahib, Amritsar

All of these Gurudwaras are in India. In the fifteenth century, a lake existed at the site of the temple. The fourth Sikh Guru, Guru Ram Das, enlarged the lake and encouraged people to settle in the area. His successor, Guru Arjan Dev had the Gurudwara constructed in the centre of the lake. Ironically, he asked a Muslim to lay the foundation of the Gurudwara (Sikhs and Muslims were bitter enemies in those days). The Gurudwara is plated with gold and is hence informally known as Golden Temple. It is actually quite beautiful, so everyone would have a look at it. The lake is called Amritsar (The lake containing the Nectar of Immortality) and is considered very sacred. The city that grew around the Gurudwara is known as Amritsar too.
