Situated on the southeastern out-skirts of the village, the Gurdw&#257r&#257 marks the site where the Gur&#363 once stayed on the bank of a pond called Siddh&#257&#7749 V&#257l&#299 &#7692h&#257b, and where a commemoration platform was later constructed by his devotees. A proper Gurdw&#257r&#257 was constructed on this spot by R&#257j&#257 Bharp&#363r Si&#7749gh of N&#257bh&#257 (1840-63) in 1860. It consists of a square flat-roofed sanctum opening on a small rectangular hall. This building still stands, but the village <i>sa&#7749gat</i> constructed, in 1975, a new hall in front of it. The Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib is now seated in this hall. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is managed by a village committee.</p> </ol><p class="CONT">Major Gurmukh Si&#7749gh (Retd.)<br></p><BR> </font> <img src="counter.aspx" width="1px" height="1px" alt=""> </HTML></BODY>
