Here are also some photographs of the sacred Vann tree under which Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj slept. Researcher and Historic Photographer Mr. Ahmed Hassan says, "One day Guru Nanak Dev Ji was sleeping under a Mal Tree (Vann Tree). Rai Bular and his men noticed that the shadow had lengthen and shifted Eastwards but the shadow of the particular Vann tree under which Guru Nanak Dev Ji was sleeping still stood over the sleeping Nanak."
Whereas Urdu commemorative board contains this different information:
" Gurudwara Sri Mal ji (Sri Nankana Sahib)
At this holy place, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji used to graze his buffaloes. One day he lay down under the cool shadow of a tree. When as the sun rises, sunlight came to his face. A cobra (snake) appeared from a nearby bush and spread its hood to provide shadow at the face of Guru Ji. This Mal (Wann tree) still exists today."
