Golden Temple |
| |
A Sikh place of adoration is
called Gurudwara. Sikhism does not sustain pilgrimage to
holy sites because according to Sikhism, God
iseverywhere and not in any certain place. But Sikhism
has a few important sites, of which, the Hari Mandir,
also known as the ' Golden Temple ' in Amritsar in
Punjab is the most important site and is considered the
holiest shrine of Sikhism. The Sikh religion has five
main Takhts or Seats of Power spread all along the
Country, which shows the spread and the vastness of the
religion.

Shri Amarnath |
| |
| Amarnath is a cave shrine,
situated in the Northern State of Jammu and Kashmir.
Pilgrimage is organised to this holy shrine coinciding
with Sravana Pournima. The Shivalingam at Amarnath is
formed of ice and it is popularly known as ICELINGAM. It
is the firm belief and trust of Hindus that those who
are able to visit this shrine will have no re-birth. One
of the holy trinity, Shiva is a living God. The most
sacred and most ancient book of India, the Rig-Veda
evokes his presence in its hymns. Vedic myths, ritual
and even astronomy testify to his existence from the
dawn of time. But Shiva, the destroyer, the mendicant,
is undefinable: he is the great yogi, the guardian of
the absolute. His actions are the themes of the myths in
which his nature unfolds |
