From Delhi, Yoshida traveled northwestward to Amritsar, in the present-day Indian state of Punjab. The temple Darbar Sahib, known in English as the Golden temple because of its gilded roof, was rebuilt in 1764 after an earlier structure was destroyed. The city of Amritsar is sacred to the Sikhs, and the temple their most important religious center. Yoshida's print shows the temple from across the lake in which it stands. The artist's rendering of the reflections of the temple and nearby buildings reveals his close observation of nuances of light and color and his precise control of printing techniques.
