Medieval Period -- Synthesis of Hindu and Muslim Influences in the Sikh Shrines at Amritsar

Title:Medieval Period -- Synthesis of Hindu and Muslim Influences in the Sikh Shrines at Amritsar
Author:Brown, Percy
Publication:Marg
Enumeration:Vol. 10 Issue no. 2; March 1957, p. 23-26
Abstract:Sikh architecture appears to be of Mughal extraction and a result of adaptations and elaborations, but it has its own distinctive characteristics such as multiple chattris (kiosks), a fluted dome generally covered with brass or copper gilt, oriel or embowed windows, and arches with foliation. The principal examples are the Golden Temple which dates from 1764, and the Harmandir complex.
