Akal Takht Story

Akal Takht Sahib is located in Amritsar, right in front of the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib). The word “Akal” means “timeless” or “eternal,” and “Takht” means “throne.” Together, it means “the throne of the Almighty.”

This sacred throne was built in 1609 by the sixth Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, with the help of Baba Budha Ji and Bhai Gurdas Ji. The Guru himself built it with his own hands. The platform was twelve feet high — a bold statement against Mughal Emperor Jahangir’s order that no one except the king could sit on a platform higher than three feet.

At this place, Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji held court, listened to the people’s concerns, and delivered justice. He wore two swords — Miri (temporal power) and Piri (spiritual power) — symbolizing that a Sikh must be both a saint and a soldier.

Even today, Hukamnamas (religious edicts) are issued from the Akal Takht, guiding the Sikh community. This sacred place stands as a symbol of courage, justice, spirituality, and unity in Sikhism.
