<p class="C1">&#65279DURG&#256PUR, village 2 km east of Naw&#257shahr in Jalandhar district of the Punjab, claims a historical shrine called Gurdw&#257r&#257 P&#257tsh&#257h&#299 Chhev&#299&#7749, dedicated to Gur&#363 Hargobind (1595-1644) who arrived here from Jindv&#257l in early 1635. According to local tradition, one Bh&#257&#299 Mohan attended on the Gur&#363. A small <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i> was established here in 1863 with the support of B&#257b&#257 R&#257m Si&#7749gh N&#257mdh&#257r&#299. The present building raised in 1950 comprises a mosaic-floored hall, with the sanctum at the far end, and verandah all around. Above the sanctum is a square room topped by a dome lined with pieces of glazed tiles. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is managed by the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee through a local committee.</p>
