<p class="C1">&#65279MAGAR S&#256HIB, GURDW&#256R&#256, named after an old village, Magar, in Pa&#7789i&#257l&#257 district, is dedicated to Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur who, according  to local tradition, stayed here awhile near what used to be a small pond. A small shrine established here was later developed into a one-room <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i>. It collapsed in what is still remembered as the flood of <i>ik&#257s&#299&#257</i> or eighty-one, meaning 1981 Bk corresponding to AD 1924 and could not be reconstructed for a long time, although Nish&#257n S&#257hib or the Sikh flag was maintained and the people brought their sick for a dip in the pond believing in the curative powers of its water. An assembly hall has been built recently with a square sanctum in the middle of it. A Niha&#7749g Si&#7749gh manages the Gurdw&#257r&#257. Large gatherings take place on Am&#257vasy&#257, the last day of the dark half of the lunar month, when devotees flock in large numbers from the surrounding  villages and towns.</p>
