EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transports us back in time to the sacred and serene precincts of the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, before the turn of the 20th century. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the temple's ethereal beauty and the devotional fervor of its visitors. The Golden Temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib, is the holiest gurdwara, or Sikh place of worship, located in the city of Amritsar in the Punjab region. The temple's name derives from its stunning golden exterior, which is covered in gold leaf and mirrors. The temple complex is surrounded by the sacred Amrit Sarovar lake, which is believed to have healing properties. In this image, we see a group of devotees gathered around a large oil lantern, their faces illuminated by its warm glow. The men wear traditional Sikh attire, including turbans and long beards, while the women are dressed in colorful saris. The Victorian and Edwardian influences are evident in the women's fashion, with high collars and long sleeves. The photograph captures the peaceful atmosphere of the temple, with the reflection of the lantern and the temple's golden dome in the still waters of the lake. The image invites us to reflect on the rich history and spiritual significance of this sacred site, and the enduring faith and devotion of its visitors. This photograph is a precious reminder of the past and a testament to the enduring allure of India's cultural and spiritual heritage.
