Originally erected in 1574, the site of the temple was surrounded by a small lake in a thin forest. The third of the six grand Mughals, Emperor Akbar, who visited the third Sikh guru, Guru Amar Das, in the neighbouring town of Goindval, was so impressed by the way of livlihood in the town such a he gave a jagir (the yards and the revenues of a large number of villages in the vicinity) to the guru's daughter Bhani as a gift on her marriage to Bhai Jetha, who then became the fourth Sikh guru, Guru Ram Das. Guru Ram Das enlarged the lake and constructed a little township obtainable it. The town was named subsequent to Guru Ram Das as Guru Ka Chak', Chak Ram Das or Ram Das Pura.
During the leadership of the fifth guru, Guru Arjan Dev (1581–1606), the full-fledged Temple was built. In December 1588, the magnificent Muslim Sufi saint of Lahore, Hazrat Mian Mir, who was a finishing friend of Guru Arjan Dev Ji, initiated the making of the temple by laying the mainly foundation stone (December 1588 AD). A mason then straightened the stone but Guru Arjan Dev told him that, as he had undone the endeavor just now completed by the holy man, a calamity can come to the Harmandir Sahib. It was later attacked by the Mughals.
The temple was executed in 1604. Guru Arjan Dev, installed the Guru Granth Sahib in it and appointed Baba Buddha Ji as the earliest Granthi (reader) of it on August 1604. In the mid-18th century it was attacked by the Afghans, by one of Ahmed Shah Abdali's generals, Jahan Khan, and had to be substantially rebuilt in the 1760s. However, in response a Sikh Army was sent to hunt down the Afghan force. They got under orders to substantiate no mercy and historical evidence argues the Sikh Army was decisively victorious in the after battle. Both forces met every a greater number of uni miles outside Amritsar; Jahan Khan's simpleton was destroyed. He himself was decapitated by commander Sardar Dayal Singh.
