Gur&#363 Gobind Sin&#775gh is believed to have visited Chhachhraul&#299 during his sojourn at Kap&#257l Mochan in 1688. The site was brought to light only in 1920 by Sant Harn&#257m Si&#7749gh of Mast&#363&#257&#7751&#257, and the building was erected by R&#257&#7751&#299 Ra&#7751b&#299r Kaur of Kals&#299&#257 in 1924. The Gurdw&#257r&#257, called Santokhpur&#257, is situated in a forest half a kilometre east of the town across Som Nad&#299, a tributary of the River Yamun&#257. It consists of a single flat-roofed room to which a verandah on three sides has been added recently. The management is in the hands of Si&#7749gh Sabh&#257 Chhachhraul&#299, independent of the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee.</p> </ol><p class="CONT">Major Gurmukh Si&#7749gh (Retd.)<br></p><BR> </font> <img src="counter.aspx" width="1px" height="1px" alt=""> </HTML></BODY>
