A small domed Mañj&#299 S&#257hib commemorates the visits of the Gur&#363s. Two <i>kar&#299r</i> trees, one in the circumambulatory passage and the other in the compound, believed to have sprouted from the wooden posts to which Gur&#363 Hargobind had tethered his horse, are held in veneration by the villagers. With the construction of a much bigger <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i> across the canal by Mahant Pañj&#257b Si&#7749gh and Mahant Mehar Si&#7749gh, this historical old shrine has fallen into a state of comparative neglect and the ancillary rooms for the <i>la&#7749gar</i> and for lodging pilgrims lie unused. Yet the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib is seated in the Mañj&#299 S&#257hib and is served by the village <i>sa&#7749gat</i>.</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>
