Golden Temple to get gold plating on main entrance

Punjab, Apr 08: India s famous shrine The Golden Temple, also known as Darbar Sahib, is undergoing a gold plating work on the main entrance.The task is undertaken by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).However, the main temple is all made of 24-karat gold, which is much purer than the 22-karat gold present in Indian households today.Earlier in April, the SGPC introduced eco-friendly compostable carry bags for the Karah parshad at the Golden Temple to discourage the use of polythene bags.
