He inherited the position as
zamindar of Talwandi from his father
Rai Bhoi. Although a Muslim by faith, Rai was inspired by
Guru Nanak, the founder of
Sikhism and donated half of his land - over 18,500 acres of agricultural land.
Mehta Kalu, the father of Guru Nanak, was an employee of Bhatti. He was among the first few people who viewed Nanak as someone who was specially gifted by God. The land he donated is now under the control of
Evacuee Trust Property Board of Pakistan. A portrait of Rai Bular was installed in the Central Sikh Museum of the
Golden Temple complex under the supervision of the
SGPC on 15 October 2022 to commemorate his important place in Sikhism. His descendants from Pakistan whom were invited to attend the event were unable to due to visa clearance issues. == Gallery ==
