<p class="C1">&#65279RAIL&#298, a small village 12 km from Sirhind (30º- 37'N, 76º -23'E) in Fatehga&#7771h S&#257hib district, claims a historical shrine dedicated to the Ninth Gur&#363. Before 1947 Rail&#299 was predominantly a Muslim village, with only a few Kamboj Sikh families. These Sikhs maintained a platform as a memorial to Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur's visit. The present Gurdw&#257r&#257 was built in the early 1950's. It has a square hall with a low platform in the middle as the sanctum. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is managed by a village committee in which members of the old Kamboj families take a leading role.</p>
