Talk:Hindu temple by Guru Hargobind

Article is all over the place, did the Guru build it - cut stones, serve as a mason, ect. as said//or finance it and have the Sikhs build it as in the case of the Mosjid? Or as the last sentence said did he simply give permission for its construction, as indicated in the last (previous) sentence.

There is the traditional depiction of Mt. Meru and the central axis with the inverted lotus bud in the ceiling defining this axis. This axis is inportant in the Harmandir Sahib, I believe, with a rope or cord being used to center the cloth cover over the Granth wich is always placed daily in this central axis after the fixtures and cloth coverings, the manji, ect. are removed and the floor washed with milk and then rinsed with the water from the tank and polished down and reset perfectly with new furnishings in exactly the same place of the day before.

What is a Maseet?

Is the building now used as a Gurdwara? (Maseet which is turned to gurdwara)

What is a Minakari?

There are statues of Hidu Gods installed here. are there still Murtis in the temple is it still used by the Hindus of the city?

The lotus dome, derived from the stupas of the Budhists and the Gunbads of the Persians again a developement of the Mt. Meru theme, the central axis, the Nissan Sahibs and the stepples of the western world, is the same as is seen on almost every Gurdwara.

Lotus roots in mud growing through the 'ocean of life' to break beautifully above gu to ru. base to what could be.

The painting which is not whitewashed over is similar to that exposed on the rear of the gateway to the bridge to the Golden Temple Itself.
