Badrukhan is a big village about 5 km from Sangrur, the district headquarters, on Sangrur-Barnala road in Punjab, India.

History

The residents of five small villages, Vada Agwarh, Vichla Agwarh, Dalamwal, Dhaliwas and Thagan wali Patti, under the leadership of Pandit Badru, approached Great Jat ruler Maharaja Gajpat Singh, the Maharaja of Jind, for security from dacoits. Maharaja Gajpat Singh amalgamated these villages and named it Badrukhan. In 1763, when Gajpat Singh captured the town of Jind, Badrukhan was made the capital of Jind State. He also built a fort here.[1]

Badrukhan is believed to be the birthplace of mother of Maharaja Ranjit Singh (Raj kaur) and Maharaja Hira Singh of Nabha.

Present

The village has a Government Senior Secondary school, a 4-bedded subsidiary health center and a post office.
