attempt to trap Guru Nanak Dev Ji but failed.

here. Bronze is bright and shiny, but when it
is rubbed, its blackness appears. Washing it,
its impurity is not removed, even i f it is
washed a hundred times. Hearing this Shabd

commemorate this event. This place is

which has now been levelled. Rooms for the stay
of Sangat have been built along the boundary
wall. There are green trees, flowery creepers,
rose, jasmine and other plants whose flowers
blossom all around . At present Govt Higher
