Tarna Dal and Buddha Dal

After Deevan Darbara Singh Ji left this mortal world, two jathe or battalions in the form of Tarna Dal and Buddha Dal were formed. Tarna Dal was made up of five sections each having a jathedar. Baba Deep Singh Ji was appointed one of the jathedars by the Sikhs..There were 2000 horse mounted Gursikhs in Baba Deep Singh Ji's jatha.

When Maaser Rangarh was disrespecting the holy precincts of Sri harimandir Sahib,Jathedar Buddha Singh Ji from Baba Deep Singh Ji's jatha sent Bhai Sukha Singh and Bhai Mehtab Singh Ji to avenge the sacrilege that was occuring in Sri Harimandir Sahib.Masarh Rangarh had converted the Darbar Sahib into a dancing hall for prostitutes .Bhai Sukha Singh Ji and Mehtab Singh Ji decapitated the head of Masarh Rangarh and placed his decapitated head at the feet of Jathedar Budha Singh Ji.Baba Ji heard news of Jahan Khan continuing atrocities against the Sikhs and the sacred sarowar or pool of nectar Sri Harimandir Sahib .Baba Deep Singh Ji reached Taran tarn Sahib and bathed in the holy sarowar along with a jatha of 500 Sikhs, all wearing clothes in the sacred colour of saffron and ready for battle. After making Karah Parshad, an offering made before Guru Ji using butter, sugar,flour, water and gurbani, and making the following ardass, "Until Shri Harimandir Sahib Ji is liberated from the tyrants, I will not become Shaheed".
