A schism now arose. Ram Rai, the elder brother of Har Kishan, claimed the succession. Another party preferred Tegh Bahadur, second son of Har Govind the sixth Guru, then resident at Bakala village. In the end Ram Rai was disavowed, and abandoning the struggle he retired to the valley (dun) between the Sewaliks and the Himalaya mountains, bounded on the west by the Jamuna and the east by the Ganges. Here he founded a sect of his own, called after him the Ram Raiyas. The town which sprang up took its name of Dehra from the temple founded by him, and the whole valley became known as the Dehra Dun. There is still a Sikh community at Dehra.
