Mehraj is a town in the Bathinda district of Punjab. Mehraj was founded in 1627 by Bhai Mohan (d. 1630), a Jatt of the Siddhu clan, with the help of Sri Guru Hargobind Ji.
According to Sikh tradition, Bhai Mohan and his family wanted to settle down in this area but the Bhullars, the local dominating tribe, resisted.
Mohan sought Guru Hargobind's blessing and succeeded in founding a village which he called Mehraj after the name of his great-grandfather.
The Bhullars tried to dislodge him, but were driven away with Guru Hargobind's help.
