The shrine came under the control of the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee in 1927. While digging a <i>sarovar</i> (bathing tank) on the back of the new building, an old <i>b&#257ol&#299</i> or open well with steps descending to water level was discovered and renovated. The shrine was abandoned in the wake of mass migrations caused by the partition of the Punjab in 1947.</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>
