    The Golden Temple in Amritsar, India is being summarized. It is the most sacred site in Sikhism, located in a man-made lake in the city of Amritsar. The temple was originally constructed in 1574 but has since been rebuilt and added onto. Its most distinguishing features are its golden exterior and unique Indian architecture and decorations. The complex and varied roofing would likely pose the greatest modeling challenge.

    Questions for Temple Project

    What type of temple did you choose?


    • The Golden Temple in India, The Harmandir
    Sahib in the city of Amritsar. Punjab state. India. A little Background…
    Its name literally means Temple of God. The fourth guru of
    Sikhism, Guru Ram Das, excavated a tank in 1577 AD which
    subsequently became known as Amritsar (meaning "Pool of
    the Nectar of Immortality"),giving its name to the city that
    grew around it. In due course, a splendid Sikh edifice,
    Harmandir Sahib (meaning "the abode of God"), rose in the
    middle of this tank and became the supreme centre of
    Sikhism. Its sanctum came to house the AdiGranth
    comprising compositions of Sikh gurus and other saints
    considered to have Sikh values and philosophies, e.g., Baba
    Farid, and Kabir. The compilation of the AdiGranth was
    started by the fifth guru of Sikhism, Guru Arjan Dev.
    Originally built in 1574, the site of the temple was surrounded
    by a small lake in a thin forest. The third of the six grand
    Mughals, Emperor Akbar, who visited the third Sikh guru, Guru
    Amar Das, in the neighbouring town of Goindval, was so
    impressed by the way of life in the town that he gave a jagir
    (the land and the revenues of several villages in the vicinity) to
    the guru's daughter Bhani as a gift on her marriage to
    BhaiJetha, who later became the fourth Sikh guru, Guru Ram
    Das. Guru Ram Das enlarged the lake and built a small
    township around it. The town was named after Guru Ram Das
    as Guru Ka Chak', Chak Ram Das or Ram Das Pura.
    Where is this type of temple usually found?

    • In India mostly because of its unique Golden


    structure.
    What details in this temple make it
    distinguishable from other types of temples?

    It’s golden and has an architecture and decorations of unique Indian Origin.
    When building the temple what geometry
    are you going to use?
    • I would use both nurbs, polygons because of its ease of modeling
    capabilities and some subdivision to get detail in particular areas such as
    the main roofs.
    What do you think would be the most
    difficult part?
    • The roof because it has many shapes.
