The four entrances of this holy shrine from all four directions, signify that people belonging to every walk of life are equally welcome.Two thousand years after Buddha's time, another philosopher-saint came to live and meditate by the peaceful lake. This was Guru Nanak (1469-1539), the founder of the Sikh religion.

The land for the site was acquired by the earlier Guru Sahibs on payment or free of cost from the Zamindars (landlords) of native villages. The plan to establish a town settlement was also made. Therefore, the construction work on the Sarovar(the tank) and the town started simultaneously in 1570.
The work on both projects completed in 1577 A.D. During the leadership of the fifth Guru,Some of the architectural features of the Harmandir Sahib were intended to be symbolic of the Sikh worldview.Instead of the normal custom of building a Gurdwara on high land, it was built at a lower level than the surrounding land so that devotees would have to go down steps to enter it.In addition, instead of one entrance.
