	What is the Akal Takhat?
		AKal Takhat means the Throne of the Immortal.
		The Akal Takhat was founded by Guru Hargobind on June 15, 1606 and was established as the place from which the spiritual and temporal concerns of the Sikh community could be acted upon.
		The Jathedar of the Akal Takhat is the highest spokesperson of the Sikh Panth and is meant to be a spiritual leader without control or influence from any outside, politically motivated sources.

		However, fragments of canopic jars and part of a red granite sarcophagus lid, usurped itself from someone named Anketemheb, both inscribed with the name of Takhat, probably indicate that at least she was buried here, so one of the mummies may be hers.

	Hukamnama and Sarbat Khalsa : when, why, how and by whom?:Gateway to Sikhism
		Like in the case of other Sikh institutions, the real aim behind the establishment of the Akal Takhat was to keep the Sikh Panth united, and not to sacrifice the community's unity be remaining adamant on an edict issued by Akal Takhat Jathedar or his five companions.
		While proclaiming the 'supremacy of Akal Takhat', some among the Sikhs appear to have forgotten that this 'supremacy' was confined to enforcing and implementing the decisions of the Guru Panth, and not it taking decisions itself.
		It was thought that the other Takhats would be able to settle and resolve problems, difficulties and complaints of the Sikhs in their respective regions and would also be able to preach and propagate Sikhism there.
