To pen-down the philosophy, ideology, the inner and outer beauty, as well as the historical
legacy of Sri Darbar Sahib is a momentous task. It is a matter of experience rather than a of
description.
As advised by Sri Guru Amar Dass Ji (3rd Sikh Guru), Sri Guru Ram Dass Ji (4th Sikh Guru) started
the digging of Amrit Sarovar (Holy Tank) of Sri Darbar Sahib in 1577 A.D., which was later on
brick-lined by Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji (5th Sikh Guru) on December 15, 1588 and He also started
the construction of Sri Darbar Sahib. Sri Guru Granth Sahib (scripture of the Sikhs ), after its
compilation, was first installed at Sri Darbar Sahib on August 16, 1604 A.D. A devout Sikh, Baba
Budha Ji was appointed its first Head Priest.
The Golden Temple Amritsar India (Sri Darbar Sahib Amritsar) has a unique Sikh architecture.
Built at a level lower than the surrounding land level, The Gurudwara teaches the lesson of
egalitarianism and humility. The four entrances of this holy shrine from all four directions,
signify that people belonging to every walk of life are equally welcome.
