The investigation of the craftsmanship and engineering of the Golden Temple has, lamentably, remained a subject of unconcern for workmanship students of history and faultfinders. Indeed, even researchers of Indian sanctuary design have skirted it and references, at whatever point made, were insignificant cordialities. Fergusson considered the Golden Temple a case of the structures which Hindu sanctuary engineering expected in the nineteenth century.
As per the official rundown of structures of intrigue, distributed by the Punjab Government in 1875, the outline of the sanctuary, as recreated by Ranjit Singh, was acquired from the place of worship of Saint Mian Mir, close Lahore. Louis Rousselet, writing in 1882, viewed it as a "nice looking style of engineering".
Significant Cole portrayed it as an adjustment of Mohammadan styles, enhanced with a decent arrangement of Hindu custom. Percy Brown viewed it as a result of the blend of Hindu and Muslim impacts, joined with elaborations that granted it its very own appearance.
In the assessment of Hermann Goetz, Kangra change of Oudh design was assumed control by the Sikhs and advanced into that brilliant, however every so often bombastic, Indian 'extravagant' craftsmanship regularly found in the gurudwaras of Punjab. The design model of the Golden Temple appeared as a thought consolidating the dharamshala and the tank imagined by Guru Arjan, the child and successor of Guru Ram Das. Rather than building the sanctuary on a high plinth in the Hindu style, Guru Arjan had it worked in a sadness so admirers needed to go down the means keeping in mind the end goal to enter it. Additionally it had four passages, representative of the new confidence which saw no difference amongst the four Hindu standings. In spite of the fact that there is no composed record or contemporary outline giving the idea of the model, it seems to have been, pretty much, like the present structure dating from 1764, with most of its beautification included the early long stretches of the nineteenth century.
The year 1764 has been attributed by H. H. Cole in his monograph on the sanctuary .distributed in 1884.
The fundamental structure ascends from the focal point of the holy pool, 150 meters square, drew closer by a thoroughfare around 60 meters in length. An entrance on the western side of the pool opens on to the thoroughfare, flanked with balustrades of worried marble, and, at close interims, there are standard lights, their extraordinary lamps set upon marble sections. The 52-meter square-based Hari Mandir, to which the thoroughfare drives, remains on a 20-meter square stage. Its lower parts are of white marble, yet the upper parts are secured with plates of overlaid copper. In the inside, on the ground floor, is the Guru Granth Sahib, set under a lovely covering, studded with gems. On the second story is a structure known as Shish Mahal or Mirror Room, so composed as to have a square opening in the middle to see from that point the ground floor, with the further arrangement of a tight circumambulatory around the square opening.
The inside of the Shish Mahal is ornamented with little bits of mirror, of different sizes and shapes, skilfully decorated in the roof, and dividers lavishly adorned with outlines, for the most part flower in character.
Assist over the Shish Mahal is again a little square structure, extensively little both at its base and additionally in its rise, surmounted by a low fluted brilliant arch, fixed at its base with various littler vaults. The dividers of the two lower stories, shaping parapets, end with a few adjusted zeniths. There are four chhatris or booths at the corners. The blend of a few many extensive, medium and smaller than usual vaults of plated copper make an exceptional and stunning impact, improved by the appearance in the water beneath.
