<p class="C1">&#65279K&#256ÑJHL&#256, village 18 km from Sa&#7749gr&#363r (30º-14'N, 75º-50'E) in the Punjab, has a common <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i>, called Jhi&#7771&#257 S&#257hib, honouring the memory of Gur&#363 N&#257nak, Gur&#363 Hargobind and Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur, all of whom are believed to have visited the site successively. Gurdw&#257r&#257 Jhi&#7771&#257 S&#257hib stands where there used to be a large copse (<i>jhi&#7771&#257</i>, in Punjabi) about 200 metres west of the village and where the Gur&#363s had their camps. The foundation of the present building was laid on 18 April 1912 by Sant Atar Si&#7749gh whose disciple, Sant Bishan Si&#7749gh, completed it in 1936-37. The sanctum, within a modest sized hall, has marble floor and a canopied seat, also of marble, for the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib, with a large dome above. Across a brick paved compound from the hall is a row of rooms for the staff. The <i>sarovar</i> is at the back of the hall. A separate spacious compound contains the Gur&#363 k&#257 La&#7749gar and rooms for pilgrims. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 owns 35 acres of land and is managed by the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee through a local committee. Special religious gatherings mark the death anniversaries of Sant Atar Si&#7749gh and Sant Bishan Si&#7749gh in February and August respectively.</p>
