A closer view of the twin towers of the Ramgarhia Bunga inside the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar
The Ramgarhia Bunga was built by a Sikh warrior & Ramgarhia misl chief Jassa Singh Ramgarhia in the late 18th century. The building serves as a place for pilgrims, as also to provide a measure of defense to the Darbar Sahib against any invader. The towers are 46 m high, and originally 3 were planned, but only 2 were built.
