<p class="C1">&#65279JINDV&#256L, village 1 km southeast of Ba&#7749g&#257 (31º-11'N, 76ºE) along the Phagw&#257r&#257-Naw&#257&#7749shahr road in Naw&#257&#7749shahr district of the Punjab, is sacred to Gur&#363 Hargobind, who stayed here for a time, during his journey from Kart&#257rpur to K&#299ratpur in 1635, to get his favourite horse, Suhel&#257, treated. The original building of the shrine, Gurdw&#257r&#257 Charan Ka&#7749val P&#257tsh&#257h&#299 Chhev&#299&#7749, constructed by Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh was replaced by a new one raised in 1947. Built in a walled compound entered through an imposing gateway, the central building standing on a high plinth is a square marble-floored hall with the sanctum in the middle and a verandah around it. Above the sanctum is a domed room topped by a gold-plated pinnacle. The <i>sarovar</i> is to the north of the hall and Gur&#363 k&#257 La&#7749gar and M&#257t&#257 N&#257nak&#299 Library to its south. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is managed by a local committee under the auspices of the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee. Besides the daily services and observance of major Sikh anniversaries, a largely-attended religious fair is held on 21st of H&#257&#7771 (usually 4 July) every year.</p>
