The Nishanwalia Misl, also spelt as Nishananvali Misl, was a Sikh misl.[3][4][5] The Misl was founded by Dasaundha Singh Shergill a leader of Tarna Dal.[6] The misl was ruled by the Shergill Jats.[7] The misl was based in Ambala, Shahbad, and parts of the present-day Ludhiana district.[6] The Nishanwalia Misl was more akin to a brotherhood rather than resembling a large, family clan like most of the other misls of the Sikh Confederacy.[8]
