The original shrine to the south-east of the village together with its landed property passed into private possession subsequent to the gurdw&#257r&#257 enactment of 1925. A new <i>Gurdw&#257r&#257</i>, named Gurdw&#257r&#257 Ja&#7751&#7693 S&#257hib P&#257tsh&#257h&#299  10, constructed after the partition of the country in 1947, is located in the northern part of the village near an old <i>ja&#7751&#7693 (Prosopis specigera)</i> tree which is believed to have sprouted from a peg to which Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh's horse had been fastened. It comprises a hall, with the 4-metre square sanctum at the far end. The shrine is affiliated to the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak  Committee and is managed by a local committee.</p>
