The city of Amritsar in India is home to a Golden Temple – Harmandir Sahib. This spectacular structure is the highest sanctuary of the Sikh religion and one of the most famous pilgrimage sites in the world. After the temple had been destroyed several times, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the founder of the Sikh Empire in India, had it rebuilt in the 19th century, using marble and copper, and the upper floors were covered with gold leaf. This is where the name Golden Temple comes from.
