Durgiana Temple
ਦੁਰਗਿਆਣਾ ਮੰਦਰ
A Hindu temple built in the style of the Golden Temple, set in a sacred pool. It is famous for its silver-worked doors and is also known as the Silver Temple.
Durgiana Temple was rebuilt in 1921 under the guidance of Hindu reformers, and its layout imitates the Golden Temple. The main shrine stands in the center of a square sacred pool, reached by a causeway, and its exterior is likewise mostly gold. Inside are shrines to Vishnu and Lakshmi, and its finely carved silver doors have earned it the name Silver Temple. It draws fewer visitors than the Golden Temple and has a more relaxed atmosphere. Shoes must be removed before entering the shrine. Entry is free. It is a short distance south of the railway station and can be combined with a visit to Gobindgarh Fort.
