Khojidas Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hi All, Of late or rather I heard instances whereby the customs of the Akal Takht were different in contrast to today. These include; A) When the Takht Sahib was under custody of Dal Panth, Panth Patishah (Jathedar) would hold court as patishah would, apparently this was the maryada passed down from 6th Patishah and continued from Dasam Patishah onto his heir Guru Khalsa. B) Only Amritdharis were allowed to enter the Takht. C) You were expected to remain in Bir Asan as oppose to chaunkri as per norms. Can anyonr expand on the above or add/historical accounts? Thanks, Khoji 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib still performs this duty. 12 hours ago, Khojidas said: B) Only Amritdharis were allowed to enter the Takht. Only amritdharis are allowed to enter the upper levels of the Takht. Where this come from, I don't know, as the original Sri Akal Takht Sahib only had one level. It was Maharaja Ranjit Singh who added the 2 further storeys to it. Why I don't know. Maybe to give a a more prominent place and to keep the Nihangs happy. 12 hours ago, Khojidas said: C) You were expected to remain in Bir Asan as oppose to chaunkri as per norms. Never heard of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khojidas Posted January 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 @chatanga1 thanks for your feedback, do you of any other traditions associated with the Takht? Is there a manual in how it should be maintained as there is one for Sri Darbar Sahib (Dastoor e amal Sri Darbar Sahib) ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khojidas Posted January 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Also does anyone know whether the orginal Tharra Sahib(plinth) which Guru Hargobind raised still remains in tact? I hear it may have been damaged during the rebuilding in 1984.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amardeep Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Check the Gurbilas Patshahi 6. I heard it covers a lot of the maryada of the Akal Thakht and Harimandir Sahib 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
