Secrets of Golden Temple

The Golden Temple, located in Amritsar, Punjab, India, is the world's largest soup kitchen and the holiest temple for Sikhs. Every day, it provides free meals for 100,000 to 300,000 people, regardless of their religion, faith, or background. The Golden Temple played a critical role in Operation Bluestar, a significant military action conducted by the Indian Army in 1984 to eliminate Sikh militants who had taken refuge inside the temple complex. These militants were involved in a series of violent activities such as bombings, kidnappings, and assassinations, causing significant unrest in the Indian state of Punjab.
