LĀLŪ, BHĀĪ, also known as Bhāī Lālo, was a well-to-do Sabharvāl Khatrī of the village of Ḍallā, now in Kapūrthalā district of the Punjab, who received spiritual instruction at the hands of Gurū Aṅgad. He was a close associate of Bhāī Pāro in whose company he once visited Goindvāl in the time of Gurū Amar Dās. Joy radiated from his face as he saw the Gurū. The Gurū blessed him saying, in the words of Sarūp Dās Bhallā, Mahimā Prakāsh, "Lālū, my beloved Sikh, hath become lāl (lit. crimson) i.e. a ruby)" Lālū was appointed head of a mañjī, or preaching district. Tradition attributes supernatural powers to him, especially as a healer. A shrine at Ḍallā honours his memory.
