Dadhi


Dadhi in Ropar district, Punjab is a small village in India near the towns of Kiratpur Sahib and Anandpur Sahib. The village is situated on the bank of the Sutlej river about south of Anandpur, north of Rupnagar and from Chandigarh on the Nangal-Rupnagar-Chandigarh road.
Kiratpur Sahib was established in 1627 by the 6th Nanak, Guru Hargobind, who bought the land from Raja Tara Chand of Kehloor through his son, Baba Gurditta. The place is also associated with the memory of a Muslim saint, Pir Buddan Shah who, according to legends, lived about 800 years.
It is a sacred place for the Sikhs. Guru Nanak Dev is said to have visited this place when it was little more than a wilderness. Guru Hargobind spent the last few years of his life here. Both Guru Har Rai and Guru Harkrishan were also born and received the Gurgadi at this place.
Guru Ramana Maharshi Gramin Vikas Sanstha, a non-government organisation, has been working for the welfare of local people and to improve the village. Most of the young people of this area are well educated.
