<p class="C1">&#65279KHA&#7788KAR, a village 8 km to the northwest of J&#299nd (29º-18'N, 76º-19'E) in Hary&#257&#7751&#257, claims a historical shrine, Gurdw&#257r&#257 Naum&#299 P&#257tsh&#257h&#299, in memory of Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur, who made a halt here on his way from Dhamdh&#257n to J&#299nd. It is said that a notorious <i>chaudhar&#299</i> of the village, Dal by name, set some of his henchmen to steal the Gur&#363's horses. The thieves entered the camp at night, but as they unfastened the horses they felt that they could see no more. They restored the horses to their posts and regained their eyesight. In utter bafflement they came away without their booty. In the morning the villagers, including Dal, came to apologize to the Gur&#363. The Gur&#363 forgave them and instructed them in the pious way of living. He also helped them to dig wells in the village.</p>
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;	The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is a small domed room which has the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib installed in it. It is under the control of the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee and is attached to the local managing committee at J&#299nd which appoints a <i>granth&#299</i> who lives on the premises and looks after the shrine and the lands attached to it. There is scarcely any Sikh population in the village.</p>
