LEDs light up Golden Temple

The traditional “deepmala” to beautify the Golden Temple complex on special occasions is going to be a thing of the past. Now, a hi-tech LED system worth Rs 13 crore has been installed to illuminate the grandeur of the gold-plated sanctum sanctorum and its surroundings. The SGPC’s ambitious project witnessed its trial run this evening. The light effects have been synchronised with the clock. This implies that as the sun sets, it will come under operation automatically and run till the early hours.
