Sri Bhaini Sahib is in the district Ludhiana of Punjab, India. Located about 16 miles from city of Ludhiana it is regarded as the most sacred place of pilgrimage for Namdhari Sikhs - spiritually as well as politically. It is historically linked to Lord Rama of Treta Yug and is where Sat Guru Ram Singh Ji gave birth to the Namdhari Sikh Panth and re-inaugurated the Sant Khalsa in April 1857. Sri Bhaini Sahib is the birth place of Satguru Ram Singh Ji (at Rhaian), Sat Guru Pratap Singh Ji and Sri Sat Guru Jagjit Singh Ji.

Under the guidance of His holiness Sat Guru Jagjit Singh Ji this simple and humble village has flourished into a modern shrine for the Namdharis. The village is capable of providing the needs of the resident population of a few hundred to tens of thousands of people who attend the annual Jap Paryogs, and other major events like the Hola Mohalla and sangeet samelans.

The village is dotted with important shrines which are linked to events which have molded the history of the Namdhari sect from the 19th century to present day. It is now distinctly divided into two sections, ie Gurdwara Sri Bhaini Sahib & The Ram Mandir Complex. Just a few miles away is Village Rahian, the birth place of Sri Satguru Ram Singh Ji and the Akal Bunga (the tap asthan (places of meditation) of Sri Satguru Ram Singh Ji). These historical places can be considered as part of Sri Bhaini Sahib.
