It has a historical <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i> dedicated to Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh, who made a brief halt here on his way from D&#299n&#257 to Ko&#7789 Kap&#363r&#257. The shrine, called Gurdw&#257r&#257 S&#257hib P&#257tsh&#257h&#299 X, is situated inside a walled compound entered through a gateway. The old shrine, a small domed room, is still preserved, but the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib is seated in a separate flat-roofed hall where daily services take place. The Gurdw&#257r&#257, endowed with 15 acres of land, is managed by a local committee under the auspices of the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee. A largely attended annual fair is held annually on the occasion of Bais&#257kh&#299.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Narotam, T&#257r&#257 Si&#7749gh, <i>Sr&#299 Guru T&#299rath Sa&#7749grahi</i>.
