I saw in the art gallery on Sikhnet two pictures of the 'Steel Temple'. What is this steel temple? I would be very interested to know.

I also saw picture named 'Shakti' and they are of amritari women, it may just be a question of interpretation but why were these pictures named Shakti...is there is special significance.

A response in your own time would be much appreciated. Thank you.

The Temple of Steel................a huge project of a Gurdwara that is being planned to be built in "Ram Das Puri". Ram Das Puri is a sacred plot of land on a mountain top in New Mexico in the USA.

Shakti is a woman's name. Also, the term, 'a shakti', refers to a woman. The women I beleive that you saw pictured are Sikhs.....possibly Americans and possibly Amritdhari as well.
