BŪṚ MĀJRĀ, a small village about 8 km east of Chamkaur Sāhib (300-53'N, 760-25'E) in Ropaṛ district of the Punjab, claims a historical shrine, Gurdwārā Pātshāhī 10 located near an old well. It is said that Gurū Gobind Siṅgh, while proceeding to Chamkaur on 6 December 1705 after evacuating Anandpur Sāhib, halted here awhile. The well which has existed since then provided water for the travellers and their horses. The Gurdwārā commemorating the visit, comprises a dīvān hall with the sanctum for the Gurū Granth Sāhib in the centre. The management is in the hands of the Nihaṅgs.
