Bhai Gursa Singh Gahunia, a Saini, was a resident of village Kotla Nihang Khan. He was a dedicated Sikh. When Guru Gobind Singh Sahib visited Kotla Nihang to attend the betrothal ceremony of Bhai Aalam Khan, son of Bhai Nihang Khan, the Sikhs accompanying Guru Sahib stayed with Bhai Gursa (later Gursa Singh) Gahunia. On December 5, 1705, when Palit Zorawar Singh left Anandpur Sahib, he rested for some time at the residence of Bhai Gursa Singh; and even after his escape from Chamkaur he reached his home and got treatment for his wounds. On December 8, Bhai Gursa Singh joined Bhai Bagga Singh to cremate Bhai Bachitar Singh who had died at the residence of Bhai Nihang Khan. Later, they escorted Palit Zorawar Singh to Mai Poopan, in village Daddheri.
