jhar

CHUHARVAL, village 11 km west of Chamkaur Sahib (30° 53`N, 76° 25`E), has a gurdwara called Jhar Sahib, dedicated to Guru Gobind Singh, who quitting Chamkaur on the night of 7 December 1705, reached this spot. In a cluster of thorny bushes (Jhar) here, he relaxed for awhile before resuming his journey further west. A shrine was later established to mark the site. A land grant of 75 bighas, made to it by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, has been continued by successive governments.
