Before Independence the village of Bhai Rupa was located in the four princely states of Patiala, Nabha, Bagdi and Bhadur.

It celebrates the name of a prominent Khokhar (some people say Rajput but descendants claim to be Ramgarhia and some claim to be jatt sikh)Sikh,[1][2] BhaiRupa (Roop Chand, 1614–1709), the son of Bhai Sadhu, who laid the foundation of the village in 1631, at the instance of Guru Hargobind.

The present Gurdwara Sahib Patshahi Chhevin, a two-storey domed building, marks that site inside the village.

Close to the Gurdwara, in a private house belonging to one of the descendants of Bhai Rupa, there is preserved an old rath or chariot.

The guru in recognition of devotion, honoured Roop Chand with the title of "bhai" (own brother) and put him in charge of the spiritual welfare of the new region of Malwa and the country south of Sutlej.

With his own hands Guru Ji made Bhai Roop Chand the masand of the area and put on his forehead the tilaka, (saffron mark of leadership) and gave a karchha, a long spoon, asking him to run langar to feed the poor and the needy.
