The shrine, a marble-floored hall with the sanctum at the far end, was constructed in 1925. Above the sanctum where the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib is seated on a canopied marble throne are two storeys of square rooms with a pinnacled dome on top. Near the southeastern corner of the building is an old well said to have been dug during the Gur&#363's stay in the village. A basement room, circular in shape and about 3 metres across with a supporting column in the centre of it, is said to be the spot where the Gur&#363 had sat in meditation.</p> <p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;GURDW&#256R&#256 DUKHNIV&#256RAN S&#256HIB, about 200 metres south of the village, is an octagonal room with a brick-paved terrace in front of it. To the east of it is the 15 metre square <i>sarovar</i>, originally a pond converted into a bathing tank during the time of Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh. There is another small <i>sarovar</i>, octagonal in shape, near the entrance gate.</p> <p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Both these gurdw&#257r&#257s are affiliated to the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee.</p> </ol><p class="CONT">Gurnek Si&#7749gh<br></p><BR> </font><img src="counter.aspx" width="1px" height="1px" alt=""></HTML></BODY>
