Gurdwara Baoli Sahib

Gurdwara Baoli Sahib is situated in the Dhakoli Village, Zirakpur in Mohali Distt. Shri Guru Gobind Singh after winning Battle of Bhagani from Paonta Sahib on the way to Shri Anandpur Sahib, via Rani ka Raipur, Guru Ji reached on outskirts of vill dhakoli. As this village was laid down by Bhai Gurditta, elder son of Guru Hargobind, there were lots of Sikh followers in the village. On hearing the news of Guru sahib's arrival Chaudary Ishar Das resident of village along with other followers reached to take Guru sahib's blessing. Guru sahib asked for welfare of village and area. Chaudary Ishar das with folded hands asked that there was no water in village and people have to go to Sukhna river to fetch water for their livelihood. Guru sahib was holding Barchaa in his hand. Hearing this problem Guru sahib Started searching in the area and at particular place inserted his barcha in the soil and immediately sweet and clean water started flowing from earth. Looking at this every one was very happy and bowed before Guru sahib. Guru sahib gave money from his own to Chaudary to construct the place permanently and also told him that this place will be known as Baoli Sahib.
