Gurdwara Baoli Sahib in Chandigarh, India
is a very famous shrine. Devotees come from
all over the country to visit this religious
place. Chandigarh Baoli Sahib Gurudwara
has a lot of religious significance for
Sikhs. People are of the belief that there
was a descendant of Baba Gurditta Ji, who
resided in the Dhakauli village near Zirakpur.
He meditated for many years at this place.
On having heard about this great devotee,
the tenth Guru of Sikhs, as in Guru Gobind
Singhji visited this village. This village
is about 10 kms away from Chandigarh, situated
on the Zirakpur-Kalka highway. This great
worshipper made a request to the Guru to
restore the water supply and quench the
thirst of people of this area. It is believed
that the Guru shot an arrow into the ground
and a baoli (shallow well) sprang from there.
Later on, a splendid gurudwara was constructed
over there and it was named Baoli Sahib
Gurdwara. Worshippers come over here on
every Amavas to take a holy dip in the water
of the baoli.
