In the course of a journey through this area, Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur came and sat here under a <i>p&#299pal</i> tree on the bank of a pond. The old <i>p&#299pal</i> tree is not there now, but the pond, called R&#257m Tal&#257&#299 and believed to possess medicinal properties for curing skin diseases, has since been lined and converted into a small <i>sarovar</i>, holy tank. Construction of the Gurdw&#257r&#257 was commenced in 1919 and completed on 1 Chet 1992 Bk/14 March 1935. The building comprises a square <i>d&#299v&#257n</i> hall, which is an extension of the sanctum where the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib is installed. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is managed by a village committee. There is a lithographed copy of the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib preserved in the Gurdw&#257r&#257, printed in N&#257nak Sh&#257h&#299 Sammat 424 (AD 1893). It has 2134 pages and the volume ends with the <i>R&#257gam&#257l&#257</i> with which composition copies of the holy Scripture as a rule conclude.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1">Fauj&#257 Si&#7749gh, <i>Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur, Y&#257tr&#257 Asth&#257n, Prampr&#257v&#257&#7749 te Y&#257d Chinn</i>.
