<p class="C1">&#65279SULT&#256NVI&#7750&#7692, village 4 km southeast of Amritsar (31º-38'N, 74º-53'E), has two historical shrines dedicated one each to Gur&#363 Arjan (1563-1606) and Gur&#363 Hargobind (1595-1644).</p>
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;GURDW&#256R&#256 T&#362T S&#256HIB marks the spot to which Gur&#363 Arjan often repaired for rest under a Mulberry (<i>t&#363t</i>, in Punjabi) tree which no longer exists. The present building, a square flat-roofed room, was constructed in 1983 by the local <i>sa&#7749gat</i> which maintains it.</p>
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;GURDW&#256R&#256 A&#7788&#256R&#298 S&#256HIB P&#256TSH&#256H&#298 CHHEV&#298&#7748 marks the site where, according to local tradition, Gur&#363 Hargobind made a halt while travelling from Amritsar to &#7692all&#257 for his wedding ceremonies. The present-building complex located within a walled compound entered through an imposing gateway was constructed during the early 1950's. The central building is a hall with a square sanctum in the middle where the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib is seated. Above the sanctum are two storeys of square rooms topped by a lotus dome having a gold-plated pinnacle. A small <i>sarovar</i> is in front of the hall. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is affiliated to the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee but is managed by B&#257b&#257 Kali&#257n Si&#7749gh Sev&#257v&#257le. Another place of pilgrim interest at Sult&#257nvi&#7751&#7693 is an old well, about 2 km southwest of the village. It is named Bh&#257&#299 Mañjhv&#257l&#257 Kh&#363h. It was into this well that Bh&#257&#299 Mañjh, a devoted Sikh of Gur&#363 Arjan, had once fallen with a load of firewood meant for Gur&#363 k&#257 La&#7749gar on his head. He kept standing in the shallow water to save his load from getting wet until he was rescued by the Gur&#363 on the following day.</p>
