The Gurdw&#257r&#257 commemorates the visit of Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur who, during one of his journeys through the M&#257lv&#257 territory, put up here near a <i>nim</i> (<i>margosa</i>) tree, which still exists. The leaves of one of the boughs of this tree which leans over the shrine are tasteless while those on the rest of the tree possess their natural bitter taste. The miracle is attributed to Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur, who is said to have pulled off a twig from this branch and used it to cleanse his teeth. The one-room Mañj&#299 S&#257hib was replaced in 1924 by a larger building. The present complex, completed in 1972, consists of a spacious hall, with a verandah in front. The sanctum marking the original site of the Mañj&#299 S&#257hib is in the middle of this hall with a domed room over it on the first floor. The shrine is managed by a local committee.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> &#7788h&#257kar Si&#7749gh, Gi&#257n&#299, <i>Sr&#299 Gurdu&#257re Darshan</i>.
