| Bhai Roop Chand Ji | |||
|
Village Wadghar (near TaranTaran) resident Akal Singh, accidently married his daughter Surti with Sadhu, the grandson of Suklani resident Sultania Sadhae. Bibi Surti brought her husband to Sri Guru Har Gobind Patshah's darbar at Daroli. Guru Sahib converted Sadhu to a Sikh and blessed him with the honor of "Gurmukh". In sunmat 1671, Sadhu was blessed with a son. When the parents brought the child in Guru Sahib's presence, the sixth Guru baptized the child and named him "Roop Chand". He turned out to be a very noble and devoted sewak and earned the honor of "Bhai" from Guru Sahib. In sunmat 1688 (1631), Guru Sahib established a village named "Bhai Roopa", named after Bhai Roop Chand.
Bhai Roop Chand was given a "Khanda" and a "Kadsha" (spade) for use in preparation and serving of langar. Both these items are well preserved today in the possession of Baghadias.
