The Great Sikh ruler Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1780-1839) who is placed in the front rank of the statesmen of the century, guilded the temple with 165 Kg of gold valued at Rs. 65 lakhs in those days. The entire renovation and guilding work was completed in 25 years in 1830, hence its name Golden Temple. It is also known as Darbar Sahib the Court Divine.
The Holy Scripture is brought in a vivid procession from the Akal Takhat (The highest temporal seat of the sikhs) in the morning to theTemple, to be returned at night. Singing is central to Sikh worship and is a feast to the souls when hymns from the Holy Scripture are recited Kirtan on the waves of the Classical ragas, a sublime blend of voice and music spreads its wings and submerges in celestial atmosphere captivating the devotees.
