The lady was restored to her husband and Jabb&#257r <u>Kh</u>&#257n suitably punished. A simple mud hut that existed here as a memorial was replaced in 1980 by the present building, a 4-metre square room with a circumambulatory verandah around it, by Sant Jav&#257l&#257 Si&#7749gh, who still manages it.</p> </ol><p class="CONT">Gurnek Si&#7749gh<br></p><BR> </font> <img src="counter.aspx" width="1px" height="1px" alt=""> </HTML></BODY>
