<p class="C1">&#65279NIZ&#256M&#256B&#256D, a small town in &#256zamga&#7771h district of Uttar Pradesh, was visited both by Gur&#363 N&#257nak and Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur. According  to local tradition, the former stayed here for 21 days. Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur came to Niz&#257m&#257b&#257d in 1670 while travelling back to the Punjab from the eastern parts. A shrine looked after by Ud&#257s&#299 sadhus existed here until B&#257b&#257 Krip&#257 Day&#257l Si&#7749gh Bhall&#257 of Goindv&#257l came and established a <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i>, which is called Gurdw&#257r&#257 Charan P&#257duk&#257 P&#257tsh&#257h&#299  1 te 9. He was followed by his son, S&#257dho Si&#7749gh, and his grandson Sumer Si&#7749gh a noted poet and later <i>mahant</i> of Ta<u>kh</u>t Harimandar S&#257hib, Pa&#7789n&#257. Later, the management of the Gurdw&#257r&#257 was assumed by Sr&#299 Gur&#363 Si&#7749gh Sabh&#257, &#256zamga&#7771h. Renovation of the buildings was taken up by Sant S&#257dh&#363 Si&#7749gh Maun&#299 in 1976-77. An important relic preserved here is a pair of wooden sandals belonging to Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur. For security reasons it has been entrusted to the custody of a prominent businessman of &#256zamga&#7771h, and is brought to the Gurdw&#257r&#257 for display on special occasions. In the Gurdw&#257r&#257 are preserved fourteen old handwritten volumes of the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib and six of the <i>Dasam Granth</i>. Some of them go back to the eighteenth century.</p>
