Amritsar city is one of the cities of the Punjab state in India. This city was founded by Guru Ram Das in 1574 on land bought by him for 700 rupees from the owners of the village of Tung. Earlier Guru Ram Das had begun building Santokhsar Sarovar, near the village of Sultanwind in 1564 (according to one source in 1570). It could not be completed before 1588. In 1574, Guru Ram Das built his residence and moved to this place. At that time, it was known as Guru Da Chakk. (Later, it came to be known as Chakk Ram Das).
Since then this city has been known as Amritsar (after the name of the sarovar). The first stone of the foundation of the Darbar Sahib is said to have been laid by Sain Mian Mir Sahib, a Muslim saint from Punjab, at Guru Arjun Dev's request. A story in Sikh lore tells of a mason who then corrected the stone's alignment and was chided by Guru Arjun Dev for doing so with the Saint stating that the re-alignment was symbolic of the complex being continually attacked and rebuilt. Masons worked on laying the foundation on January 3, 1588.
The flouting population of City Amritsar has crossed the estimated figures of one lac per fifty thousand day. The visitors to the city include traders, students, research scholars, photographers, architects, government and semi government, routine visitors within the country and far-away lands and above all the people looking for solace in the world. Their purpose of visit may vary but the ultimate destination becomes a visit to Harmandir Sahib. Now a days the number visitors coming to Harmandir Sahib varies from 60-80 thousand per day and this crosses one lac on Sundays, Holidays and in Festival season.
