BAṬṬHĀ, BHĀĪ, was a masand or local leader heading the Sikh congregation at Paṭṭan Shaikh Farīd, better known as Pākpaṭṭan, in Montgomery (now Sāhīvāl) district of Pakistan, during the time of Gurū Har Krishan and Gurū Tegh Bahādur. As is evident from a number of hukamnāmās or edicts issued by the Gurūs to the saṅgat of Pākpaṭṭan, Bhāī Baṭṭhā was a prominent Sikh of his time.
