<p class="C1">&#65279BR&#256HMA&#7750 M&#256JR&#256, an old village, about 11 km southeast of Ropa&#7771 (30º-58'N, 76º-31'E), is sacred to Gur&#363 Hargobind and Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh. Gurdw&#257r&#257 Gur&#363 Ga&#7771h S&#257hib commemorates the visit of Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh on 6 December 1705 when he, with his two elder sons and 40 Sikhs, was on his way from Ko&#7789la Niha&#7749g <u>Kh</u>&#257n to Chamkaur. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 about 50 metres outside the village, constructed during the 1970's, consists of a square <i>d&#299v&#257n</i> hall with a verandah in front. The sanctum within it is marked off by 16 square-shaped pillars. The one acre walled compound also contains Gur&#363 k&#257 La&#7749gar and rooms for the pilgrims.</p>
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The second shrine in the northern part of the village is called Gurdw&#257r&#257 P&#257tsh&#257h&#299 Chhev&#299&#7749 in memory of Gur&#363 Hargobind who, it is believed, passed through here in 1638 on his way back from Kurukshetra. The Pa&#7789h&#257ns of Ropa&#7771 supported by Ra&#7749gha&#7771s and Gujjars of the surrounding villages made an unprovoked attack on the Gur&#363 to avenge an earlier defeat on 1 July 1635, when R&#257j&#257 Himmat Chand Hin&#7693&#363r&#299, supported by 100 Sikhs under B&#257b&#257 Gurditt&#257, had worsened the Pa&#7789h&#257ns in the battle of Na&#7749gal Gujjr&#257&#7749. Now finding the Gur&#363 with only a handful of his disciples, a rabble force blocked his way. The Gur&#363 had to take shelter in Br&#257hma&#7751 M&#257jr&#257 village but the exemplary courage of the Sikhs and the Gur&#363's own skill in archery kept the multitude at a distance. Meanwhile, reinforcements arrived from K&#299ratpur and the assailants were driven away with heavy losses. The present Gurdw&#257r&#257 was constructed only in 1975 at the instance of Sant Kart&#257r Si&#7749gh of Bhi&#7751&#7693r&#257&#7749. It consists of a single square room in which the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib is installed.</p>
