<p class="C1">&#65279 BHARATGA&#7770H, an old village 18 km north of Ropa&#7771 (30º-58'N, 76º-31'E) in the Punjab, is sacred to Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur. Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur passed through this village travelling in July 1675 from Anandpur to Delhi resolved to make the supreme sacrifice to uphold the freedom of faith. His first halt was at K&#299ratpur where he spent a day meeting relations and making offerings at the holy shrines. The next halt was at Bharatga&#7771h, a distance of about 10 km from K&#299ratpur. A platform was established here to commemorate his visit. The present <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i> was constructed in 1932. It is situated along the main street and consists of a flat-roofed rectangular hall with a verandah on the eastern side. The shrine is managed by a committee of the local Sikhs.</p>
