Baghel Singh (c. 1730s – c. 1800s) was a warrior leader in the Punjab region in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent in the 18th century. He rose to prominence in the area around Sutlej and Yamuna. He joined the Singh Krora Misl, one of the Misls during Sikh Confederacy. In 1765, Singh became the leader of the Misl.[2] Baghel Singh is remembered for constructing important Sikh gurdwaras in Delhi at the sites of important events in Sikh history in the area.[3]

Emperor Shah Alam Il was forced to accept the Sikh capture of the Red Fort, and offered them a treaty where he agreed to their terms. In place of vacating the Red Fort, he allowed Sardar Baghel Singh to stay on in Delhi to identify all the sites sacred to the Sikhs here, and build gurdwaras at these sites. Ten gurdwaras would be constructed in all, including Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib where Guru Tegh Bahadur had been executed by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, Gurdwara Rakab Ganj and Gurdwara Bangla Sahib. The Sikhs were also presented 3 lakh rupees. Four thousand men stayed behind with Sardar Baghel Singh to oversee the construction of their gurdwaras. The rest of the forces left the following day, after the settlement.
