Historical significance
It was built at the site where the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev, was incarcerated during the reign of the Mughal Emperor, Jehangir.
Conversion to an Islamic shrine
It has since been converted into a Muslim shrine, Haq Char Yaar, in reference to the first four caliphs in Islam. In 2007, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee condemned this act by Pakistani Muslims.
