Akal Takhat (Punjabi: ਅਕਾਲ ਤਖ਼ਤ, Akāl Taḵẖt) means the Throne of the Immortal and is the highest political institution of the Sikhs. Akal means The Timeless One - another term for God. Takhat means throne in Persian. The Akal Takhat is an impressive building that sits directly in front of the causeway leading to the Golden Temple in Amritsar. The Akal Takhat was founded by Guru Hargobind on June 15, 1606 (now celebrated on 2 July) and was established as the place from which the spiritual and temporal concerns of the Sikh community could be acted upon.It stood as a symbol of political bulwark against the Mughal Emperors in the 17th and 18th century. Various attacks on the Akal Takhat and Harimandir Sahib have been led in past by Ahmed Shah Abdali and Massa Rangar in the 18 century. On June 4, 1984, the Indian Army did more than just damage the outer facade of the Akal Takhat, they destroyed the sancitity of the Akal Takht with tanks and reduced it to rubble, while attempting to take out Sikh militants in a controversial military operation known as Operation Bluestar.It is the most supreme of all the Takhats. There are four other takhats established by the panth (community) during the last century:Keshgarh Sahib (Anandpur)Patna SahibHazur SahibDamdama SahibOften, Amritsar is considered a takht.The Jathedar of the Akal Takhat is the highest spokesperson of the Sikh Panth and is meant to be a spiritual leader without control or influence from any outside, politically motivated sources. The present jathedar is Bhai Joginder Singh Vedanti.The Akal Takhat in the morning as the sun rises

The amazing peacefulness, devotion and true spirit to serve in the of God just touched my heart. No hassles, no haggling, no politics, every person gets a fair chance to spent time ther.

Originally known as Akal Bunga,[4] the building directly opposite the Harmandir Sahib was founded by sixth Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind, as a symbol of political sovereignty and where spiritual and temporal concerns of the Sikh people could be addressed.[2] Along with Baba Buddha and Bhai Gurdas, the sixth Sikh Guru built a 9 foot high concrete slab. When Guru Hargobind revealed the platform on 15 June 1606, he put on two swords: one indicated his spiritual authority (piri) and the other, his temporal authority (miri).[5][6]In the 18th century, Ahmed Shah Abdali and Massa Rangar led a series of attacks on the Akal Takht and Harmandir Sahib.[2] Takhat which is on the first floor was rebuilt in bricks. Between 1770-1780, under Sultan Al Quam Jassa Singh Ahluwalia 1718-1783 the leader of the Sikh Confederices in Punjab.

The Amritsar campus is a very sacred ground. Sri Harmandir Sahib is one such shrine which was declared by Baba Arjan Dev as Ath Sath Tirtha.  Baba Arjan Dev ji had given a special advice to Baba Hargobind ji in his last time. With arm sit on your Seat completely and build an army. Thus Sri Akal Takht Sahib was established. This is one of the most sacred throne among the five known Panj Takhat.Original Sri Akal Takhat Sahib Ji was built by Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, Bhai Gurdas Ji and by Baba Buddha Ji without any support of devotees or labour, about 12 feet high platform was erected in 1606 AD to serve the Sikh cult and humanity for ever. Guru Ji used to sit daily on this Royal Throne he issued justice to the community. As it was Infront of the Kotha Sahib and little off side not facing to the Sri Harmandir Sahib Ji, so it was known as Akal Bunga.  A Sikh Empire was founded in the form of Akal Takhat Sahib Ji.This place was the site where the Guru used to entertain assemblies with his sermon and delivered justice and issued ordinance Hukmnama. He used to dispose off all types of issues confronting the community  Guru Ji used to wore two swords one for Miri and other for Piri, one signifying Secular other signifying the spiritul aspect. Edicts were issued by the guru from here to his followers that instead of traditional offerings they should presents effective weapons, horses and young man in the service of Guru. Such acts were a sort of open declaration of war against the illiberal Mughal forces. He trained the sikh as he himself was a mater of Sikh Martial arts. Songs of war and bravery used to be sung amidst beating of Nagara, armed soldiers in battle gear were dispatched from this spot to eliminate torture and canny of the Mughal Empire. Later on this place the regular converging point of Sikh masses at Diwali and Baisakhi to resolve and decide the Sikh matters. Controversial issues if any used be settled here.Sri Akal Takhat Sahib is thus a most tangible evidence of autonomous character of Sikh Society. Even today edicts are issued from the Sri Akal Takhat Sahib, if required to resolve the problems concerning principles. The edicts are treated and accepted as an order of the Guru by every Sikh. The two saffron coloured highmast flags opposite to the Sri Akal Takhat Sahib are the symbol of Miri and Piri. It also signifies that these two forces stand subjugation under none.At this place historical arms and armours belonging to the Gurus and their sons, martyrs and Sikh warriors are formally taken out and shown to the congregation every evening after the sikh vespers.The Kotha Sahib a Room situated on the ground floor of the main building originally was the place where Guru Arjan Dev Ji used to retreat for the night After the completion of the compilation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib bed became the Seat for Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Guru Arjan Dev Ji started sleeping upon the floor just below the bed even now in the memory of Gurus practice, a White Sheet is laid on the floor under the bed every day. This bed is the place of night halt for Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jl, when after the last ceremony at Sri Harmandir Sahib, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji are formally brought aloft the Golden Planquin Sahib by a group of Pious Sikhs. A well is also there.Its architecture is unique and five storey building is little lower in height than Sri Harmandir Sahib Ji. Its three storeys were built by Maharaja Ranjit Singh even he was punished by the Sri Akal Takhat Sahib Ji. Its Architecture is splendid and the religious activities are touching the soul. Many times it had faced the attacks even a severe attack in 1984 by the Government of India. Still bullet marks can be noticed on the wall of gate. Its chastity was restored and Jathedar remain a Chief Priest and edicts are released from here can be noticed anywhere in the world as displayed on notice boards.I love to visit again and love to participate in all the sacred activities. Its a major attraction among pilgrimage devotees history buffs wanderers soulseekers herita

Akal Takhat Sahib means Eternal Throne. It is also part of the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar. Its foundation was laid by Guru Hargobind Ji, the sixth Sikh Guru. The Akal Takhat is situated opposite to Harmandir Sahib and is connected by a passage. The building of the Akal Takht opposite the Golden Temple has a special meaning. While the Golden Temple stands for spiritual guidance the Akal Takhat symbolizes the dispensing of justice and temporal activity. In earlier days all Sikh warriors sought blessings here before going to battle fields. During the 18th century while Sikhs were fighting a guerrilla war in the forests they used to gather at the Akal Takht on special occasions such as Vaisakhi. Here the community used to have general meetings and approve resolutions. The Akal Takht is the oldest of the Five Takhats.

The temple and the surroundings are very serene and blissful. One can witness the amount of devotion . Langar is something unimaginable, serving the food to devotees all 24 hrs.They should improve the roads leading to the temple from car parking area. They are narrow, with pot holes and dirty . The road to such a holy place should be very good. Some one should come forward and see to this aspect of the city/temple.

The highest and one of the five temporal seats of sikhism which guides the community, gives decision regarding to political and social matters of religions. The decision of Akal Takht is biding to every sikh present in this planet. Though in past many intruders have attacked it and tried to demolish it but after every attack it was built more grand, more magnificient. It houses two swords as given by Guru Hargobind Sahib ji (miri and piri) i.e one for political justice and other one for social justice.P.s: If you think i misspelled anything or didnt gave proper respect .

Adjacent to the Golden Temple, is the marble paved square facing the Darshni­ Deorhi. On the opposite side of the marble square stands the Akal Takht, which is regarded as the supreme seat of Sikh religious authority. It was constructed by the sixth Guru Sri Hargobind in 1609. It is also called as Akal Bunga, the house of the Lord. The place is repository of the various weapons used by Sikh Gurus and heroes. These weapons are ceremoniously displayed every. evening to the congregation of devotees. The Akal Takht being the holiest of holy seats of the Sikhs, was used for a special purpose which considerably changed the Sikh character andorganization. The sixth Guru himself sat here and held a court of justice. Many Sikhs gathered here for the redressal of their grievances. Offerings were made to the Guru.At the place where Akal Takht is situated was a playground, and the Guru used to play here during his childhood. Here he was ceremoniously installed as the Guru in 1606 after the death of his father Guru Arjun Dev. The sixth Guru Hargobind watched the Sikhs performing exercises in the art of warfare. He was imparting them training for the coming struggle against the Mughal authoritarianism.

Originally known as Akal Bunga, the building directly opposite the Harmandir Sahib was founded by sixth Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind, as a symbol of political sovereignty and where spiritual and temporal concerns of the Sikh people could be addressed.Along with Baba Buddha and Bhai Gurdas, the sixth Sikh Gurubuilt a 9 foot high concrete slab. When Guru Hargobind revealed the platform on 15 June 1606, he put on two swords: one indicated his spiritual authority (piri) and the other, his temporal authority (miri).
