DODRA, village around 10 km from Budhladha and around 20 KM from Sunam in the Punjab has contributed a lot to the spread of Sikhi. It has a Gurudwara called Brahm Bunga. It was started by a retired army man Jaswant Singh popularly known as "Bauji".

Every year, three main samagams are held at DODRA in the months of March, September and December. Sangat from all over the world comes over during these samagams to take laha. Apart from these main samagams, mini samagams are held at various places all over India every fortnight. The kirtan is done by nishkam kirtaniyas and there is no paid employee. Everything is managed by sangat in these samagams and the samagams are free of any politics.

The main USP of these samagams is the inclusion of Naam Simran which has vanished from our Gurdwaras. In every session of the kirtan, one hour Simran of Waheguru Guru Mantar is done. The Gurdwara is maintained by a Trust called Brahm Bunga Trust. The gurudwara also has a branch at Doraha near Ludhiana.
