square platform in the centre of the Sarovar(tank). Now the Sikh Nation had their own Tirath, a pilgrimage center After this event it attained the status of ‘Ath Sath Tirath’. Guru Arjan Sahib installed newly created Guru Granth Sahib, in Sri Harmandir Sahib and appointed Baba Budha ji as its first Granthi i.e. on Bhadoon Sudi 1st, 1661 Bikrmi Samvat (August/September,1604). Guru Sahib made it accessible to every person without any distinction of Caste, creed, sex and religion. Thus he created a symbol of new faith, Sikhism. Unlike erecting the structure on the higher level(a tradition in Hindu Temple architecture), Guru Arjan Sahib got it built on the lower level and unlike Hindu Temples having only one gate for the entrance and exit, Guru Sahib got it open from four sides. The construction work was directly supervised by Guru Arjan Sahib himself and he was assisted by the prominent Sikh personalities like Baba Budha ji, Bhai Gurdas ji, Bhai Sahlo ji and many other devoted Sikhs. Guru Arjan Sahib got its foundation laid by a muslim saint Hazrat Mian Mir ji of Lahore on 1st of Magh, 1645 Bikrmi Samvat(December,1588). The work on both projects completed in 1577 A.D. Therefore, the construction work on the Sarovar(the tank) and the town started simultaneously in 1570.
The plan to establish a town settlement was also made.
