Boaliwala Temple (abandoned Hindu temple)
The Boaliwala Temple or Baoli Sahib is an architectural fusion of both the Hindu and Sikhs' vernacular styles situated in Narowal district within Punjab province near its administrative center, Sargodha. Originally a significant religious site for local Hindus before partition-induced abandonment, it has recently initiated restoration efforts by Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB). The temple's revitalization caters to the Hindu community in this district who have lacked functional worship spaces since 1960. Visitors can expect an ongoing project with a focus on preserving and restoring its unique architecture during October, November, February or March months when weather conditions are favorable for construction work progression.
The best time to visit is during October, November, February and March. These months offer the most favorable conditions for visitors.
Boaliwala Temple (abandoned Hindu temple) features Sikh-Hindu Vernacular architecture.
Even though it is undergoing reconstruction, visitors should still wear modest, respectful clothing that covers the shoulders and knees. Avoid wearing revealing outfits or items with offensive graphics.
As the site is under restoration, certain areas may be cordoned off for safety; visitors must respect these boundaries. Consuming alcohol or littering within the temple perimeter is strictly forbidden.
Maintain a quiet and respectful demeanor, as the site remains a place of religious significance. Refrain from touching or removing any loose bricks, carvings, or artifacts found during the reconstruction process.
