According to local tradition, Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh, during his stay at D&#299n&#257 in December 1705, retired during the day to a grove around a pool of water which stood at the site marked by the present <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i>. Here he composed the <i>Zafarn&#257mah</i> or the Letter of Victory, which he sent from D&#299n&#257 to Emperor Aura&#7749gz&#299b. The present building constructed by Sant Man&#299 Si&#7749gh during the 1930's is a large sized hall with a square sanctum in the middle of it, marked off by massive pillars and wide arches. The lotus dome above the sanctum has a tall pyramidal brass pinnacle. The old pool has been converted into a 40 metre square <i>sarovar</i>. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is managed by Niha&#7749gs of the Taru&#7751&#257 Dal.</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>.
