Sikh chronicles have not recorded these visits, but they do mention that Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur while travelling to the east in 1666 passed through E&#7789&#257w&#257h. He is believed to have stayed at the Ud&#257s&#299 &#256shram inside the town. The <i>&#257shram</i> is now known as Gurdw&#257r&#257 P&#363rab&#299 &#7788ol&#257, also referred to locally as Ba&#7771&#299 Sa&#7749gat. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is controlled by Ud&#257s&#299 priests who in their religious practice and liturgy do not strictly observe the Sikh way of worship, although the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib is installed in the building and is visited by several Sahajdh&#257r&#299 Sikhs who come to bow before it in the morning and evening everyday.</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>.
