<p class="C1">&#65279GUR&#362SAR SATL&#256&#7750&#298, GURDW&#256R&#256, 1.5 km south of the railway station named after it, is within the revenue limits of Hoshi&#257rnagar village in Amritsar district of the Punjab. The shrine marks the spot where Gur&#363 Hargobind (1595-1644), travelling from Lahore to Amritsar, made a night's halt near a pond. According to local tradition, Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh (1666-1708) himself appointed one of his Sikhs, Bul&#257k&#257 Si&#7749gh, as the custodian of this shrine. The shrine was richly endowed by Sikh rulers and chiefs during the first half of the nineteenth century. The management of the Gurdw&#257r&#257 along with its vast farmlands passed to the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee in 1925. In 1974, it was entrusted for renovation and reconstruction to Sant Ma&#7749gal Si&#7749gh. The main hall is on the ground floor of the six-storeyed building. The water of the old pond, since properly lined and used as <i>sarovar</i>, is believed to have medicinal properties for curing skin diseases. A largely-attended annual fair is held to coincide with the full moon day of Bh&#257do&#7749 (August-September).</p>
