<p class="C1">&#65279&#7692HILV&#256&#7748 KAL&#256&#7748, village 5 km southeast of Ko&#7789 Kap&#363r&#257 (30º-35'N, 74º-49'E) in Far&#299dko&#7789 district of the Punjab, was the abode of So&#7693h&#299 Kaul, shortened from Kaulnain, a descendant of Gur&#363 Arjan's elder brother, Prith&#299 Chand, and thus a collateral relation of Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh. According to Bh&#257&#299 Santokh Si&#7749gh, <i>Sr&#299 Gur Prat&#257p S&#363raj Granth</i>, Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh, displeased at Chaudhar&#299 Kap&#363r&#257's refusal to assist him in warding off the pursuing army from Sirhind, left Ko&#7789 Kap&#363r&#257 and came to &#7692hilv&#257&#7749 Kal&#257&#7749, where So&#7693h&#299 Kaul and his four sons received him with honour. Here, at the suggestion of So&#7693h&#299 Kaul, the Gur&#363 discarded the blue attire he had put on at M&#257chh&#299v&#257&#7771&#257 as a disguise. Gurdw&#257r&#257 God&#257var&#299sar, marking the site where Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh had put up, is situated on a low mound about 250 metres northwest of the village. It is a small domed room where the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib is seated. Besides the daily services, special <i>d&#299v&#257ns</i> take place on the first of each Bikram&#299 month. Bais&#257kh&#299 is the major annual festival.</p>
