Bhai Rupa is a historic village lying about 18 km north of Rampura Phul, Bathinda District. Believed to be founded in 1631 by a Sikh named Bhai Rupa, this village is associated with Guru Hargobind, the sixth Sikh guru. Main attraction of Bhai Rupa is Gurdwara Sahib Patshahi Chhevtri, a two storeyed gurdwara built in memory of Guru Hargobind. The descendants of Bhai Rupa maintain the gurdwara. Another attraction is a private house, belonging to one of the descendants, which houses an old chariot believed to have been brought from Dehradun by the grandson of Bhai Rupa, Bhai Gian Chand. It is believed that this chariot belonged to guru Arjan, the fifth Sikh Guru. The nearest airport is Chandigarh Airport.
