Devoted to large gallery of paintings, mostly showing the gruesome ways countless Sikhs have been martyred, and various items from the gurus.
The Central Sikh Museum (CSM), also known as the Kendriya Sikh Ajaibghar (KSA), is a Sikh museum and art-gallery located within the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, Punjab, India. It is one of the largest and most significant Sikh museums. The museum contains artwork depicting Sikh gurus, saints, warriors, and leaders. It also hosts weapons and manuscripts related to Sikh history and culture. It was established in 1958 by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee for the purpose of preserving and displaying artefacts related to Sikh history, religion, and culture and remains managed by the body.

This is the main entrance, sporting a distinctly Victorian clock-tower. Wash your feet in the water at the entrance in order to keep the temple clean.
Sri Darbar Sahib
This is the Golden Temple itself, floating above the Amrit Sarovar, housing the sacred Adi Granth scripture which is recited out loud during the day. This is the most crowded point, accessible by a bridge from the edge of the pool, and entry here is regulated by traditionally dressed Sikh guards. It's a 2-storey structure where Sikh saints are seated on each floor.
The giant pool of water that surrounds and reflects the Golden Temple. Sections (marked off by ropes) are set aside for (male) pilgrims wishing to bathe.
Community kitchen
Free communal kitchen, where people of any colour, caste, creed or religion, can eat food (langar) sitting together. Also enjoy a free chai at the bottom level. In case you are keen for a picture of the Golden Temple from above (especially during sunset), follow the left staircase up further onto the roof and roam around a little. Also, people won't mind if you walk around in the place where the prepare the bread or wash the dishes.
Another lodging place for pilgrims.
Shri Guru Ram Das Sarai
