Raja Kalyan Chand Kahluria (? – 12.2.1637) was the ruler of Bilaspur State, from 1601 to 1636. Jahangir, the Mogul emperor had given him long term imprisonment. He was one of the 52 rulers whom Guru Hargobind Sahib had got released from Gwalior Fort Prison, on October 28, 1619. Kalyan Chand always remained grateful to Guru Sahib. It was on his request that Guru Sahib founded the town of Keeratpur Sahib. He, along with his son Tara Chand, visited Guru Sahib several times. He was killed in the battle of Saket.
