<p class="C1">&#65279NAL&#362CHH&#298, a village three kilometres west of Muzaffar&#257b&#257d in Pakistan-occupied Kashm&#299r, had a <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i> commemorating Gur&#363 Hargobind who had visited the village during his visit to Kashm&#299r in 1620. Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh had made out to it a land grant worth Rs 3,000 annually. Bais&#257kh&#299 was observed as a religious festival in the <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i> until its evacuation in the wake of invasion by Pakistan-supported tribal raiders in October 1947.</p>
