Gurdwara Baoli Sahib is situated in Dhakoli Village, Zirakpur, in Mohali District. On his way back to Shri Anandpur Sahib after winning the Battle of Bhangani near Paonta Sahib, Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji reached the outskirts of dhakoli. As this village was laid down by Bhai Gurditta, elder son of Shri Guru Hargobind, there were many Sikhs in the village.
On hearing the news of Guru sahib's arrival, Chaudary Ishar Das, a resident of the village along with the other followers reached to take Guru sahib's blessing. Guru sahib asked if he could do something for the welfare of the village and the area. Chaudary Ishar das with folded hands asked that there was no water in the village and people have to go to the 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 some money to Chaudary to construct the place permanently and also told him that this place will be known as Baoli Sahib.
