DARGAHA SINGH


Dargaha Singh (1703 – ?) was the son of Bhai Nigahia Singh and grandson of Bhai Lakkhi Rai Yadav Wanjara. [Bhai Aghar Singh and Bhai Tharaj Singh, who punished all those who had executed Bhai Mani Singh, were the brothers of Dargaha Singh]. Nigahia Singh’s seven sons had got initiation from Bhai Mani Singh, at Amritsar, in 1725. Dargaha Singh had a scholarly bent of mind. He was sent to Kurukashetra to study Sanskrit and philosophy. He became a student of Pandit Man Singh Nirmala. Later, Dargaha Singh moved to Haridwar and finally settled at Kankhal and established his Dera in the town.
