of spiritual and historical traditions of the Sikhs. It is
said that Guru Amar Das found at the edge of the pool the
desired herb to cure the skin ailment of Guru Angad (the
second Guru of the Sikhs). However, the persistent local
tradition best highlighting the medicinal properties of the
water of the pond is the story of Rajni, daughter of Rai Duni
Chand, and the subsequent cure of her leprous husband after
taking a dip into the pond. It is said that Ram Das (at that
time on a visit to a nearby area) visited the place in
connection with the above episode and was so much impressed
with the beauty of the site that he decided to found a place
of pilgrimage here. The plan of the Harimandir was conceived
by Guru Arjan Dev jee. It was decided by the Guru to build the
temple in the middle of the tank.
It was in 1802 that Maharaja Ranjit Singh gilded the roof of
the temple with gold. It was then that the temple came to be
known as the Golden temple. |
