After the martyrdom of the fifth Maharaja, Guru Arjan Dev ji; the ruler of the time, Jahangir held Guru Har Gobind Sahib, master of Miri Piri, captive for many years at the fort of Gwalior. In 1614 AD, when the King of Bandi Chhod was released with 52 kings, he returned to Sri Amritsar and built a grand mansion at this holy place. The mansion was then known as The Chaurasti Atari as it was near the square near Guru Bazar. Sri Guru Har Gobind Sahib, the master of Miri Piri, used to sit at this place and invite the residents of the town to solve their problems.Due to the fact that it was on the western side of Amritsar at that time, the Darshan of Guru Maharaj were held at this sacred place by the Sangat coming from the West.
