The Gurdw&#257r&#257 commemorating his visit comprises a small domed octagonal Mañj&#299 S&#257hib, with a verandah in front and several ancillary rooms within a walled compound. The water of an old eight-cornered well outside the compound is believed by the devotees to possess medicinal properties for curing certain diseases. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 owns 93 acres of land and is affiliated to the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee. Gatherings take place on Sunday and on <i>am&#257vasy&#257</i> (last day of the dark half of the month). A special day on the annual calendar is the anniversary of the martyrdom of Gur&#363 Arjan. A <i>sarovar</i> has recently been dug, across the approach road, by the followers of Sant Gurmukh Si&#7749gh.</p> </ol><p class="CONT">Major Gurmukh Si&#7749gh (Retd.)<br></p><BR> </font> <img src="counter.aspx" width="1px" height="1px" alt=""> </HTML></BODY>
