Bhim Chand (born 1651)[1] was the Rajput King of Bilaspur state (reigned 1665 – 1692)[2] and Anandpur Sahib fell under his territorial area. He launched his first expedition against Guru Gobind Singh in 1682. In 1686 he conflicted with the armies of Guru Gobind Singh and his disciples in Battle of Bhangani. In 1692, Bhim Chand fought Battle of Nadaun against Mughals and came out victorious.[3]
