History of Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple)

1574 - Akbar, a Mughal emperor gifts the site to Bibi Bhani, a daughter of the third Guru Amar Das, as a wedding gift when she marries Jetha who later becomes Fourth Guru Raam Das.

1577 - Guru Raam Das begins excavation of a fresh water tank, and construction of the temple site.

1588 - Guru Arjun Dev, the son of Guru Raam Das and the fifth guru of the Sikhs, over-sees the laying of the temple's foundation.

1604 - Guru Arjun Dev completes the temple's construction. He compiles the sacred scripture Adi Granth over a five year period, completing it August 30th, and installing the Granth in the temple on September 1st. He appoints a Sikh named Baba Buddha to be caretaker of the Granth.

Sikhs know a lot about how they were persecuted by Aurangzeb. They cry and curse Aurangzeb. It is unfortunate that most of them are ignorant about the fact that their religion was patronized by Aurangzeb's great grandfather Akbar.
