Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh passed through here travelling from the nearby village of Sar&#257v&#257&#7749 during his journey westward from D&#299n&#257 in December 1705. The <i>t&#257l</i> or <i>&#7693h&#257b</i>, lit. a large pond, came to be known as Gur&#363 k&#299 &#7692h&#257b in honour of the Gur&#363's sojourn. Most of the area has since been reclaimed for cultivation, but a <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i>, with a small octagonal <i>sarovar</i> by its side, was constructed during the 1970's. Large gatherings take place on every full-moon day and the first of every Bikram&#299 month attracts devotees in large numbers, especially women with small children, from the surrounding villages.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"><i>M&#257lv&#257 Desh Ra&#7789an d&#299 S&#257kh&#299 Poth&#299</i>.
