Akal Takht Sahib, located within the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, is one of the five seats of Sikh authority (Takhts) and holds immense spiritual and historical significance. Founded by Guru Hargobind Ji in 1606, it symbolizes the unity of spiritual and temporal power in Sikhism. The name “Akal Takht” means “Throne of the Timeless One.” The structure stands majestically opposite the Golden Temple, representing courage, justice, and equality. It serves as the supreme seat of the Sikh community, where vital religious decisions are made. The daily ceremonies and the echo of Gurbani create a powerful atmosphere of devotion and dignity.
