Guru Hargobind Singh Ji constructed the Akal Takht Sahib or throne of the timeless one in front of the Harmandir Sahib. Guruji proclaimed that the swords Miri stood for the worldly path, and Piri for spiritual power. Guruji decorated his turban with a Kalgi that resembled royalty. Guruji divided an army of 500 Sikhs into five jathas or groups headed by nine Jathedars.
