BHUNGARNI, village near the right bank of the Jalandhar branch of the Bist Doab canal, 20 km south of Hoshiarpur (31° 32`N, 75° 55`E), is sacred to Guru Har Rai, who stayed here in the course of his journey between Kiratpur and Kartarpur. A platform and a small shrine, established inside the village in honour of the Guru`s visit, was looked after for a long time by a line of Mirasi (Muslim bards or heralds) priests until the local Sikh sangat took it over in the Singh Sabha days. Later, a new building was raised on the site (cornerstone laid on 19 March 1917).
