Two separate shrines mark the sites visited by them. The one dedicated to Gur&#363 N&#257nak is only a small Mañj&#299 S&#257hib on a mound to the north of the village. The other, Gurdw&#257r&#257 P&#257tsh&#257h&#299 VI, situated in a large <i>havel&#299</i>, again to the north of the village, was constructed and endowed by Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Karam Si&#7749gh (1798-1845) of Pa&#7789i&#257l&#257. The building, renovated in 1969, comprises a large hall including a square sanctum on the ground floor, a hall on the first floor, and a domed pavilion on the second floor above the sanctum. The dome is lined with multi-coloured glazed tiles. A 65-metre square <i>sarovar</i> was added in 1979-80. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 owns 25 acres of land. It is affiliated to the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee but is at present administered by the followers of B&#257b&#257 Gurmukh Si&#7749gh who constructed the <i>sarovar</i>. A largely attended assembly takes place on every <i>am&#257vasy&#257</i>, the last day of the dark half of the month.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1">Gi&#257n Si&#7749gh, Gi&#257n&#299, <i>Tw&#257r&#299<u>kh</u> Gurdu&#257r&#299&#257&#7749</i>.
