JHAṆḌEĀṆĀ, village 26 km west of Mogā (30º-48'N, 75º-10'E) in Farīdkoṭ district, is sacred to Gurū Hargobind who visited it while staying at Ḍaraulī. The Gurdwārā Pātshāhī Chhevīṅ stands in the compound of an old house in the northern part of the village. The shrine is a small square room with a circumambulatory passage built on a high plinth. There is a domed pavilion on the first floor. This building has since been opened at the front and joined to a rectangular hall at the ground level, the front portion of the circumambulatory passage now forming the sanctum where the Gurū Granth Sāhib is seated. The Gurdwārā is managed by the village saṅgat.
