BHURIA, BHAI, a resident of Chunian now in Pakistan, was a pious Sikh contemporary of Guru Arjan (1563-1606). As the Guru was once touring the Nakka country, southwest of Lahore, succouring people then living through a severe famine, he according to Giani Gian Singh, Twarikh Guru Khalsa, came to Chunian on his way from Jambar to Bahirval. Bhai Bhuria received the Guru and acquainted him with the hardship the residents were undergoing. The Guru called on Chuhar Mall, the local revenue collector, who was also a disciple. The latter left no stone unturned to provide relief.
