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.
