Earlier Gur&#363 Hargobind, his predecessor, had also passed through Galo&#7789&#299&#257&#7749 on his way back from Kashm&#299r in 1620. The Gurdw&#257r&#257, a two-storeyed domed sanctum within a spacious marble-floored hall, was affiliated to the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee, Amritsar. An old banyan tree under which the Gur&#363s are said to have sojourned during their visits still stood in the Gurdw&#257r&#257 compound in 1947 when the shrine had to be abandoned in the wake of the wholesale evacuation of Sikhs from the newly formed State of Pakistan.</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> Amritsar, n.d<BR> <li class="C1"> &#7788h&#257kar Si&#7749gh, Gi&#257n&#299, <i>Sr&#299 Gurdu&#257re Darshan.</i> Amritsar, 1923<BR> </ol><p class="CONT">Major Gurmukh Si&#7749gh (Retd.)<br></p><BR> </font> <img src="counter.aspx" width="1px" height="1px" alt=""> </HTML></BODY>
