In this print captured by Munish Sharma, the illuminated holy Sikh shrine of Golden Temple shines brilliantly through a mesmerizing decoration of oil lamps. The image was taken on November 13,2008, in the northern Indian city of Amritsar, during the grand celebration of the 539th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev, the first Guru of Sikhs. The vibrant glow emanating from countless oil lamps creates an ethereal atmosphere around the sacred temple. Each flickering flame represents devotion and reverence towards Guru Nanak Dev and serves as a symbol of spiritual enlightenment for followers. The intricate arrangement showcases meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that adds to its visual splendor.

Munish Sharma's skillful composition allows us to witness this extraordinary scene firsthand; it transports us into another world where divinity intertwines with human existence.
