Ramraiya

The Ramraiyas are a member of a group within Sikhism. They follow Ram Rai, the eldest son of Guru Har Rai (1630–61), who was sent by his father as an emissary to the Mughal court at Delhi[1]. He won the apporval of the emperor Aurangzeb but the displeasure of his own father, who when choosing the next Sikh Guru passed over Ram Rai and selected his younger brother Hari Krishen. A few Ram Raiya institutions are maintained in Dehra Dun ( Uttarakhand state) on land given to Ram Rai by Aurangzeb.
