Gurdw&#257r&#257 Chubachch&#257 S&#257hib commemorating the visit stands inside the village. Its present building, constructed during the 1950's by followers of Sant Gurmukh Si&#7749gh Sev&#257v&#257le, has in the basement a <i>chubachch&#257</i>, a circular masonry trough used for storing water, which marks the site where the Gur&#363 had stayed and which gives the shrine its name. The sanctum is a raised platform at the far end of the marble-floored hall built over the Chubachch&#257 S&#257hib. Above the sanctum is a domed room topped by a gilded pinnacle. Gur&#363 k&#257 La&#7749gar and residential accommodation are in the backyard of the one-acre compound. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 owns 25 acres of arable land and is administered by the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee through a local committee.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Narotam, T&#257r&#257 Si&#7749gh, <i>Sr&#299 Gur&#363 T&#299rath Sa&#7749grahi</i>.
