RÄm RÄiyÄ
Sikhism
RÄm RÄiyÄ, member of a group of dissenters within Sikhism, a religion of India. The RÄm RÄiyÄs are descendants of RÄm RÄÄ«, the eldest son of GurÅ« Har RÄÄ« (1630ā61), who was sent by his father as an emissary to the Mughal capital at Delhi. There he won the confidence of the emperor Aurangzeb but the displeasure of his own father, who when choosing the next Sikh GurÅ« passed over RÄm RÄÄ« in favour of his younger brother Hari Krishen. A few RÄm RÄiyÄ gurdwÄrÄs (Sikh houses of worship) are maintained in Dehra DÅ«n (Uttar Pradesh state) on land given RÄm RÄÄ« by Aurangzeb.
