This enhanced his reputation, and when Dharam Dhuja Akhara, the famous Nirmala seat, was established at Patiala in 1862, Nihal Singh was one of the four mahants appointed to assist the head of the institution in its administration. Mahant Nihal Singh had established Buriga Damdamiari at Muktsar which became a centre for several derds or seminaries which also he helped to set up in the region for imparting religious education. The exact date of his death is not known, but an old deed in the possession of Giani Gurcharan Singh of Muktsar shows that he appointed his successors to the Burigas at Talvandi Sabo and Muktsar in 1928 Bk/AD 1871.
