<P> Guru Arjan Dev was responsible for the construction of many public water tanks and buildings . In 1588 , he planned to build a temple in the centre of the holy water tank called Amritsar or the pool of the nectar of immortality . As the temple was to be thrown open to people of all religions , castes , creeds and climes , he invited Mian Mir to lay the foundation stone of the Harmandir Sahib of Amritsar , the most sacred temple of Sikhs ( now known worldwide as the Golden Temple ) . Mian Mir came to the city of Amritsar wearing a religious mendicant 's long cloak made up of patches of coarse wool and a cone - shaped cap , with a rose flower on top . </P>
