Jathedar Baba Prahlad Singh

The eighth Jathedar of the Budhadal Baba Prahlad Singh Ji was a son of Sardar Jagat Singh and Sardarni Bishan Kaur. In the year 1846 he was assigned as the jathedar of the Budhadal. He was one of the most successful Jathedars of his time. During his life he also served as the Jathedar of the Akal Takhat also. Later during his reign as a Jathedar he was attacked by Baba Ala Singh, for which the former had to response.

They fought a very heavy war in which both of them were executed. After their death rioting became an ever changing scenario. The military was brought in to control the fighting between the Singhs. Many were killed and wounded during these riots and some were taken prisoners and were jailed in Hyderabad fort. Those who survived did so by hiding in the woods. Some of the Sikhs remained under the Hukum of Guru and remained near to Hajur Sahib. The Sikhs of the Punjab were never involved in this infighting, keeping the love for peace and prosperity flowing through the generations.

Gurudwara Baba Prahlad Singh Ji is situated near the Gurudwara of Baba Nidhan Singh Ji at Shri Abchal Sahib.
