<p class="C1">&#65279JA&#7750&#7692 S&#256HIB, GURDW&#256R&#256, 3 km northwest of Gum&#7789&#299 Kal&#257&#7749, a village in Ba&#7789hin&#7693&#257 district of the Punjab, marks the site where Bh&#257&#299 R&#363p&#257 (1614-1709) served Gur&#363 Hargobind with cold water out of a leather bag hung from a <i>ja&#7751&#7693</i> tree <i> (Prosopis spicigera) </i> and received the Gur&#363's blessings. Tukl&#257&#7751&#299 village, where according to Sikh chronicles Bh&#257&#299 R&#363p&#257 then lived, no longer exists. The Ja&#7751&#7693 S&#257hib Gurdw&#257r&#257 stands 8 km due west of Bh&#257&#299 R&#363p&#257, the village founded later by the Bh&#257&#299. The main shrine, an old domed building was constructed by Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 H&#299r&#257 Si&#7749gh (1843-1911), ruler of N&#257bh&#257 state. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is endowed with agricultural land and is managed by a Niha&#7749g priest. Special congregations take place on the 1st of Bais&#257kh (mid-April), 1st of H&#257&#7771 (mid-June) and on Loh&#7771&#299 coming off on the last day of Poh (mid-January), which are marked as religious festivals.</p>
