Sikh temple, called Gurdwara, is an important center of Sikh community life. There are in India today five famous centers of this kind, at Amritsar, Patna, Anadpur,Talwandi, and Nanded. The Golden Temple at Amritsar is the holiest. The city of Amritsar is indeed the most scared place of the Sikhs. Delhi has two famous Sikh shrines- Gurdwara Sis-Ganj (the place of martydom of Guru Teg Bahadur) and Gurdwara Rikab Ganj (where his body was cremated). The Sikh shrines at Kartarpur and Dera Baba Nank in Punjab are equally famous. Some of the famous Sikh shrines are in Pakistan- Nankana Sahib (birth-place of Guru Nank), Dehra Sahib in Lahore (place of martydom of Guru Arjan) and Panja Sahib near Taxila.
