Tomri Sahib Temple
Tomri Temple, Baddoki Gosaian, Gujranwala
Baddoki Gosaian is one of the largest and most historically significant villages of the Gujranwala District. It was a home to Hindus (mostly belonging to the Gosain community), Sikhs and Muslims before the Partition of India. In 1947, several Hindu and Sikh families migrated from Baddoki Gosaian to India and similarly from India several Muslim families migrated to the village. Migrant families still use the homes and lands of those who emigrated from the village.
Baddoki Gosaian is the birthplace of Sidh Baba Sai Das, founder of the Gosain/Goswami community contemporary to Baba Nanak Dev. It had a big square-shaped tank with a temple in the center with a tree of berries.
It is a Shiv Mandir and the Mandir’s name is Tomri Sahib; it was built by Sikhs, not by Hindus. Tomri Sahib is a large complex of holy points and side rooms and 2 ponds. For entrance, there are 10 stairs around the pond, and the stairs are still there. The Mandir has many side buildings like a dharamshala and living rooms, and a Sikh Samadhi and other features remain still there. Like other temples or Mandirs, a Banyan tree is also close to the Mandir.
