Dhakoli is a town in the municipality of Zirakpur, Mohali District, Punjab, India (also old village Dhakuli). It was incorporated in the municipality in 1999.[2]
Dhakoli has been an ever developing area with residential and commercial projects springing up every now and then. It is home to many luxurious and posh societies with proper roads and uninterrupted water and electricity supply. The area has seen tremendous improvement in the past few years.
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.
