Akal Takht Sahib was revealed by Guru Hargobind Sahib on June 15,1606. The foundation stone of the building of Akal Takht Sahib was laid down by Guru Hargobind Sahib himself. (Guru Hargobind Sahib did not built or create Akal Takht Sahib, he revealed it. Akal Takht Sahib belonged to Waheguru and it was the Almighty who could have created Akal Takht Sahib). The rest of the structure was completed by Baba Buddha (the veteran Sikh servant) and by Bhai Gurdas (Sikh scholar) only. No mason or any other person was permitted to participate in the construction of the structure. Guru Hargobind Sahib himself was the Custodian of the Takht of Waheguru.

Who is the Sikhism leader of worship?
Sikhs don't worship any person as their leader. Their faith was founded by "Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji" who taught people three basic principals of sikhism: (1)Earn your livelihood being honest. (2)Remember God at all times. (3)Share your earnings with the needful. He taught people that no religion is good or bad but these are the deeds of a person which make him good or bad. His Ideology was carried forward by his fellow Gurus (Sikhs had ten gurus). Their tenth guru (Guru Gobind Singh Ji) ordered them before his death that they will no longer have a mortal person as their guru, instead they should start following the holy book "Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji" (also known as Adi Granth) as their guru or leader. This holy book was compiled by the fifth Sikh Guru "Shri Guru Arjun Dev Ji" and it's a masterpiece with 1430 pages of wise sayings and hymns from 6 of the Gurus & 35 other Bhagats from different religions and casts. Choosing persons from different religions also reflects the religious tolerance of the Gurus. Sikhs consider this holy book above all earthly things and people. It's the "Sacha Patshah"(The real king) of the whole world. Sikhs worship "Guru Granth Sahib Ji" in their worship places called Gurudwaras. Every Gurudwara has at least one copy of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji & every Sikh bows his/her head in front of "Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji" only. So Sikhs have only one leader at the time "Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji".

What does the Langer mean in the Sikh community?
The institution of "free kitchen" or the "temple of bread", as Puran Singh called it, was started by Guru Nanak. He desired that every Sikh should share his food with others - Wand Chhakna - and that his kitchen should be open to all. Subsequently the Langar took on an institution form and became a part of the Sikh temple. This community kitchen is meant to provide food to all devotees and pilgrims. Every Sikh is expected to contribute to it either by donating food stuff or by participating in the cooking and distribution of the food. Guru Nanak set up a temple of bread at Kartarpur where people brought corn and fuel, and worked together to prepare a common meal for the whole community. Guru Angad extended the Langar and personally served in it. Guru Amardas turned it into an institution and ordered that all who came to see him must first eat in Langar: food first, congregation next - pahley pangat, peechay sangat. Even the Emperor Akbar and the Raja of Haripur had to sit on the floor with the common people and take a meal with them. Apart from promoting social equality, the Langar eliminated taboos about chauka - the preparation of food in a special enclosures etc. The scope of "Langar" was widened by Guru Ramdas who ordered that water and meals be also served to travellers and squatters. Guru Arjan and his wife personally served water to the Sangat. They even massaged the weary travellers and fanned them to sleep. Many of the Sikhs started their own Langars at Anadpur. One day, Guru Gobind Singh went out incognito on an inspection of Langars. He found out that Bhai Nand Lal Singh maintained the Langar well, while others were indifferent to the needs of poor Sikhs. He warned them and remarked, "The mouths of the poor are Guru's receptacles of gifts." According to Prof. Puran Singh, "What is a home but a hospitable feasting of children with bread, love and faith?" What is spiritual life in a temple of flesh without a full meal first? The very first temple made by Guru Nanak therefore, was the Temple of Bread or Guru's Langar.
