BHAGBHARI, MAI (d. 1614), of a Brahman family of Srinagar, was converted to the Sikh faith by Bhai Madho Sodhi, sent by Guru Arjan to preach in Kashmir. As she grew old, she wished to have a glimpse of the Guru before she died. Guru Hargobind then occupied the spiritual throne of Guru Nanak. Mai Bhagbhari had stitched a role of homespun fabric which she longed to present to the Guru personally, but she was too old to travel to distant Amritsar. As says Gurbilas Chhevin Patshahi, Guru Hargobind did visit Kashmir and, reaching Srinagar, he went straight to Mai Bhagbhari`s house in Hathi Gate area.
