Bhai Godaria (Godaria Singh after initiation), a resident of Bhuchcho, was a dedicated Sikh of the time Guru Gobind Singh Sahib. His real name is not known. He used to carry a Godari (a sort of blanket) around his person; hence his name Godaria. He was a saintly person wandering through the Malwa area and he loved to do selfless service for all and sundry. He used to recite Japji Sahib for 21 times everyday. He attended Guru Sahib at Bhuchcho in December 1705 and again visited Guru Sahib at Talwandi Sabo in the last week of October 1706.
