Behra Sandal Singh is a village in Saharanpur district, Uttar Pradesh province, India. It is about 400 years old. The majority of the inhabitants are the Rajputs and Muslims and but diverse castes and ethnic groups live in the village.[1]
Behra Sandal Singh reputedly got its name from an early inhabitant, Sandal Singh, who is said to have been a generous man who never turned anyone away from his home empty-handed. He is said to have fed a whole baraat (group of people who came for a wedding), and the village was named in his honor.
