Amritsar: Devotees flocked in large numbers to the revered Harmandir Sahib (Golden temple) in Amritsar on Tuesday on the auspicious occasion of the Gurpurab of Guru Arjan Dev.
Starting early this morning, devotees immersed themselves in the serene waters of the holy sarovar, listening to the melodious hymns of Gurbani. After paying their respects at the sanctum sanctorum, devotees expressed their reverence for Guru Arjan Dev by bowing in humility.
The foundation stone for Sikhism, based upon equality and "seva" was laid down by Guru Nanak but later solidified by his three successors. To put it on a firm foundation, Guru Arjan set out to build Harminder Sahib (Golden Temple) in the exact location where his father had built the clay tank of "Amrit" and also established the town Amritsar around it.
