The temple complex features the Harmandir Sahib (the main shrine), surrounded by the Amrit Sarovar (sacred water tank), and serves as a focal point for worship, meditation, and community service. The Langar (free community kitchen) offered to all visitors exemplifies the Sikh values of equality and service.

This pilgrimage is not only a journey to a holy site but also a meaningful connection to Guru Nanak’s teachings on harmony, equality, and spiritual unity.
