<p class="C1">&#65279ANANTN&#256G (33º-44'N, 75º-13'E), a district town on the southern edge of the Kashm&#299r valley, is named after a nearby spring which is regarded as sacred by the Hindus. The town claims a historical Sikh shrine commemorating the visit of Gur&#363 N&#257nak (1469-1539), who passed through here on his way to Ma&#7789&#7789an in 1517. The present building of Gurdw&#257r&#257 Gur&#363 N&#257nak in the southern part of the town was constructed in 1950, and a second storey was added to it in 1970. The <i>d&#299v&#257n</i> hall, with the sanctum along the middle of the rear wall, is in the central portion of the first floor. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is affiliated to the Jamm&#363 and Kashm&#299r Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Board and is managed by its district committee for Anantn&#257g.</p>
