Since India is a diverse country, there are a lot of historical buildings such as the Red Fort in Delhi and the Taj Mahal in Agra, which have a lot of history related to them. Since I belong to the Sikh religion, I would like to talk about the Golden Temple, which is situated in Sri Amritsar Sahib. The Golden Temple is one of the places that is really important to the Sikh religion, I would say, and I would like to discuss its history. The first bricks were laid by the fifth guru of the Sikhs, Guru Arjan Devji, and during the period of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who was the ruler of Punjab, it was covered in golden leaves, which cost around 39.16 lakhs of that period. I think it's a marvelous building, as I have also visited it during the inquiry of my passport when I went to Amritsar Sahib. It's not surprising to me that not only Sikhs visit, but also foreigners, as I think the Sikh religion is very popular all around the globe. Whenever people from all over the world go there, like for healing, it is said that whenever someone bathes in the sacred pond of the temple, their diseases get cured. That's the story of the building I wanted to talk about.
