After walking down the stairs we went to the Golden Temple. We passed the large white Stupa that we had seen in the distance when descending the 99 stairs. A stupa is a building that is supposed to contain the Buddhas relics. I don't remember if this one did or not but it was spectacular.
For more information on Stupa's read this article:
We entered into another Temple compound which contained many buildings. One was the Golden Temple. A gilded temple that contained Buddha images. (Gilding is the art of applying a thin layer of gold to a surface). The pictures may give you some idea of the artistic beauty of this temple.
