Seth Todar Mall was a wealthy merchant of Sirhind, who on the 13 December 1705 performed the cremation of the three dead bodies of the two younger Sahibzade Zorawar Singh, Fateh Singh and their grandmother, Mata Gujari after the Sahibzade had been martyred by the Mughal authorities on the 12 December 1705 and the death from shock of their grandmother.

This wealthy merchant had to cover the required ground for cremation with gold coins to get the release of the three bodies.
