An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Bhai Rupa is a town in the sub-division Rampura Phul in the Bathinda district of the Punjab. It celebrates the name of a prominent Khokhar (some people say Rajput but descendants claim to be Ramgarhia) Sikh, BhaiRupa (Roop Chand, 1614–1709), the son of Bhai Sadhu, who laid the foundation of the village in 1631, at the instance of Guru Hargobind. Next to BhaiRupa's house, a gurdwara (Sikh community center) was built in Guru Hargobind's honour. The present Gurdwara Sahib Patshahi Chhevin, a two-storey domed building, marks that site inside the village. Guru ka Langar is across a narrow lane. In the same direction is the pavilion, raised recently to accommodate larger divans.
