About
The Gianian Bunga, also known as the Burj Gianian was a structure next to the Akal Takht built by Giani Soorat Singh, a priest in the Sikh Raj who was the head of the Giani Samparda. It was built in 1778 and served as the headquarters of the Giani Samparda until the end of the Giani Samparda in 1921. In 1988, it was demolished by the Punjab Government. It remained the main site for Sikh spiritual belief and power till the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee and Damdami Taksal's arrival.
