Introduction

Gurdwara Baoli Sahib is a gurdwara or Sikh temple situated in the district of Sialkot in the Indian State of Punjab, Pakistan. The Gurdwara Baoli Sahib is located at a distance of two hundred meters from Gurdwara Bair Sahib. The name suggests that sometime in the past, a baoli (stepwell) existed at this place. Currently no such baoli or well exists; however, there is a motor of water supply department to supply water to the neighborhood. These two gurdwaras are associated with the visit of Guru Nanak Dev ji to Sialkot.

Puranic Significance

It was built over the site where once the house of Maula Karar stood. He was afraid to meet Sat Guru and at the instance of his wife stayed inside and died of snake-bite. And it was here that Sat Guru created this Shabd. “False is friendship with the false and greedy. False is its foundation. no one knows where death shall strike”. A fair used to be held on Basant panchami. This Gurdwara has been maintained by Bhai Natha Singh with great love and affection. The Gurdwara is beautifully built and it is presently being used as a school for the blind. Gurdwara Sahib has been hidden because the people have occupied the land lying around Gurdwara and built houses on it. The tank built by Bhai Natha Singh Ji is adjacent to it. It is present even today but it is gradually heading towards extinction.
