Hazrat Mian Mir, a Sufi saint founded the Golden Temple. Over Four centuries ago, on 3rd January, Hazrat Mian Mir (ra) laid down the foundation stone of the famous Golden Temple in Amritsar, India. Hazrat Mian Mir was a famous Muslim Sufi saint who lived in Lahore. He was born at Sivastan (Sindh) in 1531 AD.
Due to his high esteem and great respect for the Sufi saint, the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjun Dev ji asked Mian Mir to lay down the foundation stone of Harmandir Sahib, the most well known Sikh shrine in the world today.
The ceremony took place on 3rd January 1588 AD, when the stone was laid down at Amritsar. The occasion crystallized the syncretic nature of Sikhism, which shuns all sectarianism based on caste and creed as well as stressed upon the very important message of a sincere dialogue among different peoples and faiths.
