- The Golden Temple is an architectural marvel with two main entrances and four additional doors, each symbolizing religious equality for all, irrespective of caste, creed, or status.
- This inclusive design reflects the temple's core values.
- The structure is set amidst a pool, with the central feature being the “Sarovar,” an artificial lake that embodies the body of the Supreme Creator, symbolizing the source of all existence.
- It is designed with three distinct doors: one facing west, towards the setting sun; one facing east, towards the rising sun; and the third, in the northeast, marking the direction from which Guru Nanak Dev departed on his journey—known as “Guru ka Ghati.”
- The fourth door, located to the south, faces the waters of the three sacred rivers and is called “Aamna ke Ghati,” with "Aamna" symbolizing the number four. The name Harmandir Sahib translates as "the abode of Shiva," a place where divine melodies flow like music, bringing peace and tranquility.
