<p class="C1">&#65279MAKORA&#7770, village on the left bank of the River Ghaggar, 7 km southeast of M&#363&#7751ak (29º-49'N, 75º-53'E,), in the Sa&#7749gr&#363r district of the Punjab, is sacred to Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur, who stayed here once on his way to Dhamt&#257n. According  to the <i>S&#257kh&#299 Poth&#299</i>, residence of G&#257g&#257, who had been rude to some of the Sikhs in the Gur&#363's entourage in their village, but who, repentant of their misdemeanour, had been following him to ask for pardon, were at last forgiven here at the intervention of the <i>sa&#7749gat</i>. Gurdw&#257r&#257 P&#257tsh&#257h&#299  IX, in the eastern outskirts of the village, was constructed in 1953 by a nobleman of the area, Harchand Si&#7749gh Jej&#299, who also made an endowment for its maintenance. The possession was handed over to the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak  Committee in 1971. Special <i>d&#299v&#257ns</i> take place on the first of every Bikram&#299 month and on all major anniversaries on the Sikh calendar.</p>
