Bodal is a historic village situated about 4 km south of
Dasuya,
Hoshiarpur District. It is one of the major Sikh sites in
Punjab. Tradition has it that
Guru Hargobind, the sixth Sikh Guru, had sanctified this village with his presence during a hunting expedition.
There is an ancient garana tree (Capparis horrida), about 200 m south-west of Bodal, where the
guru rested during his visit. Major attraction is the
Gurdwara Garna Sahib. During the major Sikh anniversaries, a large number of devotees assemble at Bodal for the celebration. Among these festivals,
Baisakhi Festival, celebrated in mid April, has special significance.
Amritsar International Airport is the nearest airport.
