He encamped near Chh&#299p T&#257l&#257&#299, a pond south-east of the town. The local inhabitants, mostly followers of Jain and Vai&#7779&#7751ava faiths, viewed the armed band of the Gur&#363's disciples with trepidation. The accidental trampling of a pigeon inside the town by a Sikh gave rise to much commotion. However, the Gur&#363's arrival at the scene pacified the people who were deeply impressed by his holy manner. The incident had occurred near the house of a barber family who later constructed a platform at the spot. There were no Sikhs in the town and no <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i> was established until the site was acquired by some Sikh settlers in 1908. More Sikh families arrived after 1947. A <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i> has since been raised. It is known as Gurdw&#257r&#257 K&#257b&#363tar S&#257hib.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Gi&#257n Si&#7749gh, Gi&#257n&#299, Tw&#257r&#299<u>kh</u> Gurdu&#257ri&#257&#7749.
