Bhai Gainda Chahal (also mentioned as Bhai Desu), a resident of village Bhikkhi (district Bathinda), was a follower of the Sakhi Sarvar sect. He was the local chief of the village Bhikkhi. In 1672-73, Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib visited Bhikkhi. He served Guru Sahib with dedication and also joined Sikh faith. Guru Sahib gave him a present of five arrows. His wife did not like his conversion to the Sikh faith. When Guru Sahib left the village, she broke the arrows and burnt them. After some time, his son and grandson were killed by their enemies; thus bringing an end to his direct line. The people believed that was the punishment for the act of burning of Guru Sahib’s present (the five arrows).
