<p class="C1">&#65279JHA&#7750&#7692&#256 KAL&#256&#7748, village 7 km south of Sard&#363lga&#7771h (29º-42'N, 75º-14'E), in M&#257ns&#257 district of the Punjab, is sacred to Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh, who, according to Bh&#257&#299 Santokh Si&#7749gh, <i>Sr&#299 Gur Prat&#257p S&#363raj Granth</i>, stayed here overnight while on his way from Talva&#7751&#7693&#299 S&#257bo to Sirs&#257 in 1706. A shrine commemorating the visit was later established, about 200 metres southwest of the village. It was served by a line of Ud&#257s&#299 <i>s&#257dh&#363s</i> until the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee took over possession under the Sikh Gurdw&#257r&#257s Act of 1925. The old shrine has since been demolished and a more spacious building constructed by Niha&#7749gs of the Bu&#7693&#7693h&#257 Dal. The square high-ceilinged hall has a sanctum in the centre and a basement below. The sanctum is topped by a lotus dome. Special congregations take place on every no-moon day. The shrine is popularly known as Gurdw&#257r&#257 Jha&#7751&#7693&#257 S&#257hib.</p>
