He was a dedicated Sikh of the time of Guru Gobind Singh. He accompanied the Guru, when the latter went from Dina to Talwandi Sabo. He was with the Guru at Saravan and Behbal/Bahibal villages (district Faridkot) too. During this journey, when they reached village Saravan, the local residents requested the Guru to send one Sikh to each house of the village for their meals. Malaghar Singh became the guest of Bhai Ganga Singh. Ganga Singh was a poor person. Though he had nothing in his kitchen to serve Malaghar Singh but he and his wife welcomed Malaghar Singh. He washed his feet with luke-warm water and served him with Peelu (a local berry fruit, now almost extinct). Later, in the evening when the Guru asked each one of them to tell what they had eaten, Malaghar Singh told the Guru that he had eaten that food which had never been eaten by him before and most probably he might not get the same in future as well. When the Guru came to know about reality, he appreciated Malaghar Singh’s feelings.
