The sites have been cared for by Muslim caretakers since partition and there is a close collaboration between Sikhs and Muslims for the maintenance and proper functioning of the complex. Muslim Rababi musicians were present inside the samadhi to present Gurbaani, reciting excerpts from Guru Granth sahab, the holy book and living Guru of Sikhism.
