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.
BIDHI CHAND, BHAI (d. 1640). warrior as well as religious preacher of the time of Guru Hargobind, was a Chhina Jatt of the village of Sursingh, 34 km south of Amritsar (31° 37`N, 74° 52`E). His father`s name was Vassan and his grandfather`s Bhikkhi. His mother was from Sirhali, another village in the same district. As a young man Bidhi Chand had fallen into bad company and taken to banditry. One day, a pious Sikh, Bhai Adali of the village of Chohia, led him into Guru Arjan`s presence.
CHITRA SAIN, a devotee of Guru Hargobind, came to Kartarpur on the Baisakhi day to pay obeisance to the Guru. He had come to present, as he had pledged in fulfilment of a wish, the Guru with a horse, white hawk and the robes. The Guru felt pleased with Chitra Sain, as says Gurbilas Patshahi Chhevin, and blessed him. Of these gifts, the Guru gave the hawk to Baba Gurditta and the robes to Painda Khan, a devotee of the Guru and a commander in his army, asking him to wear this dress while coming to the Guru`s presence.
