The House of Bagrian owned much of the land and the [[haveli]] in the village, where certain important artifacts that belonged to the [[Sikh Gurus]] are kept. The Bhai Sahibs of Bagrian also run a [[Langar (Sikhism)|langar]] that serves free food to everyone who goes there. The First [[Punjabi film]] ''[[Long Da Lishkara]]'' (1986) was filmed in this village. After that ''Tera Mera Ki Rishta'' (2009), ''Ekam: Son of Soil'' (2010), ''[[Son of Sardaar]]'' (2012), ''[[Yamla Pagla Deewana]]'', as well as the serial ''[[Ek Veer Ki Ardaas...Veera]]'' in 2012.

==History==
Situated on the [[Malerkotla]]-[[Nabha]] road, Bagrian lies about 18km southeast of [[Malerkotla]]. Though now in Malerkotla Tehsil, it was not a part of the [[Malerkotla State|Malerkotla Princely State]] but was ruled by the [[British Raj|British Colonial]] authorities.
There is a fort at Bagrian, which was built by [[Khokhar]] [[Jat]] ruler Bhai Guddar Singh who reportedly moved there in 1765. The village had been given to him by [[Adina Beg]] the Governor of [[Jalandhar]] city at the time, in appreciation of Bhai Guddar Singh's piety.
The Bhais still run a langar (free kitchen) daily. This tradition of langar was started from the time of [[Guru Hargobind]], the Sixth Sikh Guru. The village also had a wide expanse of green areas.
The Bagrian state is a continuation of a tradition of religious service from the times of Bhai Rup Chand, who was blessed by the Sixth Guru in 1634.
