History
Situated on the Malerkotla-Nabha road, Bagrian lies about 18km southeast of Malerkotla. Though now in Malerkotla Tehsil, it was not a part of the Malerkotla Princely State but was ruled by the British Colonial authorities. There is a fort at Bagrian, which was built by Khokhar Jat ruler Bhai Guddhar Singh who reportedly moved there in 1765. The village had been given to him by Adina Beg the Governor of Jalandhar city at the time, in appreciation of Bhai Guddar Singh's piety. The Bhais still run a langar (free kitchen) daily. This tradition of langar was started from the time of Guru Hargobind, the Sixth Sikh Guru. The village also had a wide expanse of green areas. The Bagrian state is a continuation of a tradition of religious service from the times of Bhai Rup Chand, who was blessed by the Sixth Guru in 1634.
