CHOHLA, village 4.5 km southeast of Sirhali Kalari (31° 16`N, 74° 56`E) in Amritsar district of the Punjab, is sacred to Guru Arjan (1563-1606). The village was called Bhaini when the Guru visited here. A housewife served him a delicious dish of chohia, broken bread mixed with sugar and butter. Guru Arjan was pleased and blessed her. He also uttered a hymn of thanks giving with the refrain: "The Lord is our life and soul ; He cares for us every where in every respect." Its last line was: "God is our wealth, His Name is our food; this, 0 Nanak, is our chohia."
