Preceded by a talk by an expert

Since it was first built in the early 17th century, the Sri Harmandar Sahib in Amritsar, Punjab, has stood as an enduring locus for Sikh faithful around the globe. Countless have stepped through its open doors, circumambulated its divine periphery and bowed in submission to the highest spiritual authority in the Sikh religion: Waheguru.
But not only does the Golden Temple – as the Sri Harmandar Sahib is popularly known – moor the Sikh spirit to its roots, it is the most powerful repository of the religion’s spiritual, political, and cultural heritage. It is also an organizational marvel with cogs within cogs functioning tirelessly behind the scenes to allow visitors the ultimate pilgrim’s experience.

As Co-Founder, Producer and Director of New Delhi’s Pulse Media, Rajendra Srivathsa Kondapalli, a trained filmmaker, has been creating non-fiction programming for over 15 years across a vast array of genres including factual documentaries, reality series, science & technology, educational & infotainment programmes. The film has been produced in collaboration with the Discovery Channel.
