An old one-roomed shrine called Gurdw&#257r&#257 Mañj&#299 S&#257hib Naum&#299 P&#257tsh&#257h&#299 exists to the east of the village. It is a small domed room, with the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib seated on a podium in the centre. Near by is the modern adjunct of the Gurdw&#257r&#257, a flat-roofed building consisting of an assembly hall and a verandah on two-sides. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is affiliated to the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee and is administered by the local managing committee at J&#299nd, which appoints a <i>granth&#299</i> or Scripture-reader, who also acts as the custodian of the shrine and of the lands attached to it. There are no Sikh families in the village.</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> Gurdu&#257ri&#257&#7749</i>.
