Gur&#363 Har R&#257i, N&#257nak VII, complying with his predecessor's instruction, continued to maintain at K&#299ratpur a body of armed Sikhs, 2, 200 strong. Bu&#7749g&#257 was the place where their horses were kept. At the back of the Gurdw&#257r&#257, there is a row of rooms one of which has within it a square pit symbolizing the original Chubachch&#257 or trough where the horse feed was mixed. From this the shrine came to be called Chubachch&#257 S&#257hib.</p> <p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The main building of the shrine stands on a high base, about 10 metres above the level of the canal bank. A double-storeyed gateway opens out on the main hall. At the eastern end of the hall is the sanctum, a square room with a circumambulatory passage around it. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is managed by the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee through a local committee. Besides the morning and evening services, all the important religious anniversaries on the Sikh calendar are observed when largely attended congregations take place.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> T&#257r&#257 Si&#7749gh, <i>Sr&#299 Gur T&#299rath Sa&#7749grahi</i>.
