1. The foundation of Harimandir Sahib was laid by Guru Arjan Dev ji himself - this is what the original Sikh historical sources tell us - refer to sources given below - [1] [2] [3] [4]
The story of Mian Mir laying the foundation is NOT true and... 2. ....it was fabricated three centuries later by a British - E. Nicholl (Secretary, Municipal Committee, Amritsar)
This Mian Mir story is not supported by any original Sikh sources or persian sources and not even the biographers of Mian Mir mentions it [5] ....
