Tat Khalsa

The Tat Khalsa (Gurmukhi: ਤੱਤ ਖਾਲਸਾ, romanized: Tata khālasā, lit.'true Khalsa'), also romanised as Tatt Khalsa, known as the Akal Purkhias during the 18th century, was a Sikh faction that arose from the schism following the passing of Guru Gobind Singh in 1708, led by his widow Mata Sundari, opposed to the religious innovations of Banda Singh Bahadur and his followers. The roots of the Tat Khalsa lies in the official formalization and sanctification of the Khalsa order by the tenth Guru in 1699.
