Summary
[edit]DescriptionA closer view of the imposing entrance arch (27161286589).jpg | A closer view of the imposing entrance arch to Amritsar's icon, the Harmandir Sahib or Golden Temple. Although this is only one of four entrances to the temple, this is probably the most impressive. The Clock Tower did not exist in the original version of the temple. In its location was a building, now called the 'lost palace'. The officials of the British India wanted to demolish the building after the Second Anglo-Sikh war and once they had annexed the Sikh Empire. The Sikhs opposed the demolition, but this opposition was ignored. In its place, the clock tower was added. The clock tower was designed by John Gordon in a Gothic cathedral style with red bricks. The clock tower construction started in 1862 and was completed in 1874. The tower was demolished by the Sikh community about 70 years later. In its place, a new entrance was constructed with a design more harmonious with the Temple. This entrance on the north side has a clock, houses a museum on its upper floor, and it continues to be called ghanta ghar deori. (which roughly translates to bell tower).
