The tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib came to this place after the Battle of Muktsar (then Khidrane Dee Dhāb, now Sri Muktsar Sahib) in 1705. His soldiers asked Him for their salary as they were not paid for some time. In the mean time, one Sikh presented before the Guru with the Daswandh (1/10th or 10% of one's income) that was the gold coins. The tenth Master started distributing these coins in His soldiers as salary. The soldiers were very happy but one of the Sikh-soldiers, Bhai Daan Singh, refused to take anything. When the Guru asked him that what he wants then, he replied that he wants the Sikhi, the baptism. The Guru pleased with the answer and remarked, "You have saved the honour of the faith for Malwa as Bhai Mahan Singh saved it for Majha". And then Bhai Daan Singh received the rites of the Khalsa.
