Separate Mariji Sahibs in the form of platforms dedicated one each to them were built in a single hall. The Guru Granth Sahib was seated on a third platform between the two. The building has now been reconstructed. The Gurdwara is administered by the village sangat. Religious assemblies are held on amdvasyd the last day of the dark half of the month, when an unbroken recital (akhand path) of the Guru Granth Sahib is concluded, followed by kzrtan and discourses and a community meal.
