AKAL BUNGA Print

AKAL BUNGA, lit. the abode of the Timeless One, is the building that houses the AKAL TAKHT in the precincts of the Darbar Sahib at AMRITSAR. The term is also used sometimes synonymously with Akal Takht. Strictly speaking, while Akal Takht is the institution possessing and exercising the highest religious authority for SIKHS, Akal Bunga is the historical Gurdwara where Akal Takht is located.
