Jathedar-led dal polity is the governance form recorded in this atlas for Sikh bodies organised into dals, armed bands each led by its own jathedar, rather than under one central authority. Wikipedia's article on the Sikh Confederacy describes the related misls as sovereign Sikh principalities originally formulated to defend the Darbar Sahib complex of Amritsar. In this atlas the entity stands for the governance form itself, so denominations, religious orders and societies governed this way can be grouped and compared under it, while each member entry keeps its own governance facts and sources.
