At the Palace of Gold shrine. I found an interesting little 1980 article about it from Time magazine:
The fussily decorated palace consumed 63 tons of imported marble, ten tons of wrought iron, three tons of carved teakwood from India, onyx for inlaying, thousands of square feet of gold and copper leaf, 42 crystal chandeliers, as well as enough stained glass for 80 windows. Claimed cost of the materials: $500,000.
