The villagers with the exception of a farmer, Si&#7749gh&#257 by name, did not pay any attention to the holy visitor. Si&#7749gh&#257 offered his services, supplied the Gur&#363's camp with firewood and cooking utensils as well as with forage for the animals. A shrine was established later to mark the site where Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur had camped. The present Gurdw&#257r&#257 Sr&#299 Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur S&#257hib P&#257tsh&#257h&#299 IX stands in a 50-metre square brick-paved compound, with the sanctum on a high plinth. The building is topped by a four-cornered dome. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 owns 80 acres of land and is managed by the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee through a local committee. Besides the daily worship and the celebration of major Sikh anniversaries, religious gatherings take place on the first of every Bikram&#299 month.</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>.
