Bhaj Tara Chand, was a masand (or a batch leader) of the Sikhs in Kabul (Afghanistan). He once led a sangat of those parts to the presence of Guru Hargobind. Travelling through Lahore, Amritsar and Khadur, they reached Kangar, now in Bathinda district of the Punjab, where the Guru then happened to be. Tara Chand was asked by the Guru to relate his experiences of the long journey. While doing so, Bhai Tara Chand especially praised two horses he had seen at Lahore in a royal procession. He had been so fascinated by them that he had even taken the time to attain their names and quoted these to the Guru as Dilbagh and Gulbagh.
