<p class="C1">&#65279KAIRO&#7748 (31º-19'N, 74º-52'E), village in Amritsar district of the Punjab, has a historical shrine, Gurdw&#257r&#257 Jh&#257&#7771 S&#257hib, sacred to Gur&#363 Arjan (1563-1606). Located half a kilometre west of the village, it marks the site where the Gur&#363, during one of his journeys through the M&#257jh&#257 country, stayed for a short time. The <i>kar&#299r</i> tree <i> (Capparis aphylla) </i> to which, according to local tradition, the Gur&#363's horse was tethered was still standing until 1976 when it got uprooted in the construction work undertaken to renovate the building originally raised in 1925. The present building is a marble-floored hall, with the sanctum in the middle and a verandah all around. North of the hall is a small octagonal <i>sarovar</i>. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is maintained by the local <i>sa&#7749gat</i> or Sikh community.</p>
