Approached by a metalled link road, it is two and a half kilometres to the northwest of the village. The small square sanctum with a verandah on three sides and a dome on top was constructed in 1912. In 1955, a square pavilion was added for larger assemblies. The <i>sarovar</i> is on the right of these buildings as one enters the premises, and the Gur&#363 k&#257 La&#7749gar and residential accommodation for pilgrims near the entrance gate. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is administered by a wholetime manager appointed by the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee. There is also a village committee to help the manager. The biggest festivals of the year are Bais&#257kh&#299 and M&#257gh&#299 falling on the first of the Bikram&#299 months of Bais&#257kh and M&#257gh respectively.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Gi&#257n Si&#7749gh, Gi&#257n&#299, <i>Tw&#257r&#299<u>kh</u> Gur&#363 <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257</i>.[Reprint] Patiala, 1970<BR> <li class="C1"> Vis&#257kh&#257 Si&#7749gh, Sant, <i>M&#257lv&#257 ltih&#257s</i>, 3 vols.
