<p class="C1">&#65279JA&#7750&#7692 S&#256HIB, GURDW&#256R&#256, dedicated to Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh, is situated within the revenue limits of V&#299rev&#257l&#257 Kal&#257&#7749 village, 25 km west of Far&#299dko&#7789  (30º-40'N, 74º-45'E) in the Punjab. This is believed to be the place where, according to <i>M&#257lv&#257 Desh Ra&#7789an d&#299 S&#257kh&#299 Poth&#299</i>, Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh, during his travels through the M&#257lv&#257 country, rested awhile in the forest under a <i>ber</i> tree. The name Ja&#7751&#7693 S&#257hib was given it later, probably because of the abundance of <i>ja&#7751&#7693</i> trees <i> (Prosopis spicigera) </i> in the forest. The present building was constructed during the 1970's through <i>k&#257r-sev&#257</i> or voluntary service by followers of Sant Gurmukh Si&#7749gh. Located in a walled compound entered through a magnificent gateway, the sanctum is in the middle of a square, marble-floored hall. Above it is a lotus dome lined with white glazed tiles, and in the rear a pavilion used as a <i>d&#299v&#257n</i> hall for bigger gatherings, usually on new-moon days. Gur&#363 k&#257 La&#7749gar is in a separate, but adjacent, compound.</p>
