The old building has, however, been replaced by a new complex constructed during the fifties of the present century, under the supervision of Sant Piara Singh. The central three storeyed building is on a raised plinth and has a square hall on the ground floor, with the sanctum in the centre. The roof is decorated with domed pavilions at corners and at midpoints of the walls. There are halls on the first and second floors as well.
The domes at different levels have ornamental gilded pinnacles. Further to the west is a small sarovar, i.e. holy tank. A row of rooms to the north houses the Khalsa girls college. Another component of the complex is a hall raised on the spot where Sant Piara Singh, who died on 7 August 1965, was cremated. Gurdwara Jhar Sahib is controlled by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee through a managing committee functioning at Machhivara.
