<p class="C1">&#65279AK&#256L BU&#7748G&#256, lit. the abode of the Timeless One, is the building that houses the Ak&#257l Ta<u>kh</u>t in the precincts of the Darb&#257r S&#257hib at Amritsar. The term is also used sometimes synonymously with Ak&#257l Ta<u>kh</u>t. Strictly speaking, while Ak&#257l Ta<u>kh</u>t is the institution possessing and exercising the highest religious authority for Sikhs, Ak&#257l Bu&#7749g&#257 is the historical Gurdw&#257r&#257 where Ak&#257l Ta<u>kh</u>t is located.</p>
