<p class="C1">&#65279GOBINDPUR&#256, village 7 km west of Bare&#7789&#257 (29º-52'N, 75º-42'E) in M&#257ns&#257 district of the Punjab, is sacred to Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur as well as to Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh. Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur, says the <i>S&#257kh&#299 Poth&#299</i>, arrived here from Bachchho&#257&#7751&#257 on his way to G&#257g&#257 and further east. Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh passed through it on his way back from Akbarpur Khu&#7693&#257l to Sirs&#257 in 1706. Separate Mañj&#299 S&#257hibs in the form of platforms dedicated one each to them were built in a single hall. The Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib was seated on a third platform between the two. The building has now been reconstructed. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is administered by the village <i>sa&#7749gat</i>. Religious assemblies are held on <i>am&#257vasy&#257</i> -- the last day of the dark half of the month, when an unbroken recital (<i>akha&#7751&#7693 p&#257&#7789h</i> ) of the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib is concluded, followed by <i>k&#299rtan</i> and discourses and a community meal.</p>
