Rāmgaṛhīā
Rāmgaṛhīā or tarkhāṇ. Sikh caste (zāt, jati). Many gurdwārās bear this name, indicating their establishment by members of the local Rāmgaṛhīā community.
Rāmgaṛhīā Sikhs take their name from the 18th-cent. misl leader, Jassā Siṅgh Rāmgaṛhīā. After playing a key role in relieving the besieged Rām Raunī fort near Amritsar, he was appointed its governor. The fort was renamed Rāmgaṛh and from this he took his new title.
