    1. Dear Brother/Sister,
      Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!

      Originally known as Akal Bunga, the building directly opposite the Harmandir Sahib was founded by sixth Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind Sahib, as a symbol of political sovereignty and where spiritual and temporal concerns of the Sikh people could be addressed. Along with Baba Buddha ji and Bhai Gurdas ji, the sixth Sikh Guru built a 9-foot-high concrete slab. When Guru Hargobind Sahibrevealed the platform on 15 June 1606, he put on two swords: one indicated his spiritual authority (piri) and the other, his temporal authority (miri).
      I hope this helps. If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
      Regards,
      Your Brother
