<p class="C1">&#65279SYLHE&#7788 (24º-53'N, 91º-52'E), a district town in present-day Bangladesh, was visited by Gur&#363 N&#257nak in 1507-08. A Sikh <i>sa&#7749gat</i> was established and a <i>dharams&#257l&#257</i> constructed here to commemorate the holy visit. The <i>sa&#7749gat</i> was in existence in the time of Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh which fact is attested by a <i>hukamn&#257m&#257</i> issued by Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh to <i>sa&#7749gats</i> in &#7692h&#257k&#257, Chittagong, Sondip and Sylhet asking them to send a war elephant to the Gur&#363. In another <i>hukamn&#257m&#257</i>, these four <i>sa&#7749gats</i> have been directed to send their offerings of cash, cloth, weapons and shields through Bh&#257&#299 Hul&#257s Chand alone who would take them to the Gur&#363 on the occasion of D&#299v&#257l&#299. The shrine is known to have existed until the partition of the country in 1947. Later, the East Pakistan government acquired the building and converted it into residential and office accommodation.</p>
