It was built at the site where the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev, was incarcerated during the reign of the Mughal Emperor, Jehangir.[3][4][5]

## Conversion to muslim shrine

It has since been converted[6] into a Muslim shrine, Haq Char Yaar,[7] in reference to the first four caliphs in Islam.[8] In 2007, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee condemned this act by muslims.[9]
