The Golden Temple in Amritsar attracts over 100,000 pilgrims daily, making it India's most visited spiritual site. Its Amrit Sarovar sacred pool spans 150 meters, believed to bestow healing properties. Outperforming #2 Meenakshi Amman Temple in annual footfall by 3X, this Sikh gurdwara provides 24/7 langar service for up to 100,000 visitors free of charge. The temple uses 750 kilograms of pure gold for its coating, significantly more than the typical rival's ornamentation, which averages 50 kilograms. Built on a 10-meter-high marble platform, its reflection creates a serene view that draws global tourists.
