About this image
The Harmandir Sahib — the Golden Temple of Amritsar — in its most spectacular form: Guru Nanak Jayanti night illumination, when thousands of oil lamps and candles surround the sacred pool, fireworks burst above in the midnight sky, and the golden facade of the temple reflects perfectly in the calm sarovar water. This image captures the Gurpurab celebration as few wallpapers do — the sheer scale of devotion made visible through light. Guru Nanak Jayanti (also called Gurpurab) marks the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism, and is celebrated with three days of continuous kirtan (sacred music), Nagar Kirtan (devotional procession), and langar service. The Golden Temple — construction of which was begun by the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji, in 1604 — stands in the center of the Amrit Sarovar (Pool of Nectar) from which the city of Amritsar takes its name. Its four entrances symbolize that it is open to all four directions — welcoming people of all religions, castes, and backgrounds. When illuminated for Gurpurab, the temple becomes a visual declaration of the Sikh belief in Ik Onkar — the one God who is the source of all light. The perfect mirror reflection in the sacred pool doubles the beauty and symbolizes spiritual reflection. Free HD download for Guru Nanak Jayanti.
