The correct answer is option 3, Guru Hargovind. Akaal Takht is one of the five takhts, or seats of power, in Sikhism. It was established by the sixth Sikh Guru, Guru Hargovind, in the early 17th century. The Akaal Takht serves as the highest temporal (worldly) authority for Sikhs and is a place of decision-making and governance for the Sikh community. It acts as the central hub for religious and political matters and is considered a symbol of Sikh sovereignty. The Akaal Takht is located in Amritsar, Punjab, India, and is adjacent to the famous Golden Temple. The other four takhts in Sikhism are the Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib in Anandpur Sahib, Takht Sri Damdama Sahib in Bathinda, Takht Sri Patna Sahib in Patna, and Takht Sri Hazur Sahib in Nanded.
