Gurdwara Sri Bauli Sahib Ji is situated in village ‘Dhakauli’, near Zirakpur, Punjab, India. After winning the battle of Bhangani Sahib, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji visited this village.

The villagers told Guru Ji about water shortage in this village. On hearing this, Guru Gobind Singh Ji pierced his spear in the soil and immediately sweet and clean water started flowing.

Sikhs later constructed a ‘Bauli’ there.

A source of water is called ‘Bauli’ in which stairs are constructed to reach the water. Thus, a ‘Bauli’ is simply a covered reservoir built with stairs.

This historic ‘Bauli’ still exists.
