<p class="C1">&#65279CHAKK FATEH SI&#7748GHV&#256L&#256, 3 km south of Bhuchcho Ma&#7751&#7693&#299 (30º- 13'N, 75º -5'E) in Ba&#7789hi&#7751&#7693&#257 district of the Punjab, and one of the cluster of villages known as Bh&#257&#299 ke Chakk because of the association of the family of Bh&#257&#299 Bhagat&#363 with them, was visited by Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh, on his way from Talva&#7751&#7693&#299 S&#257bo to Ba&#7789hi&#7751&#7693&#257. 18 Je&#7789h 1763 Bk / 16 May 1706 is preserved in local tradition as the date of Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh's arrival in the village where he put up for a week. The main shrine, Gurdw&#257r&#257 Sr&#299 Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh J&#299 S&#257hib, a 4-metre square domed sanctum on a high plinth, is on the eastern outskirts of the village, with a small <i>sarovar</i> or holy tank in the vicinity. For larger <i>d&#299v&#257ns</i>, a more spacious Gurdw&#257r&#257 was raised, opposite the old shrine across a narrow lane, during the 1960's. Both shrines are managed by the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee through a local committee. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 in the interior of the village which is called Burj S&#257hib is still part of a private house. It is a small circular mud built room where a low cot and a few garments are shown as old relics. In another small square room through which the circular room is approached, the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib is seated. Devotees who gather to attend the fair at Gurdw&#257r&#257 Sri Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh J&#299 S&#257hib on the 18th of Je&#7789h every year also visit this shrine.</p>
