Established by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Sikh Guru, this Takht is often referred to as “Guru Ki Kashi,” symbolizing its spiritual importance akin to that of Kashi (Varanasi) in Hinduism. The site holds a rich history, as it was here that Guru Gobind Singh Ji completed the final compilation of the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism, making it a focal point for Sikh teachings and philosophy.
