'''Dadhi''' is a small village in [[Rupnagar district]], [[Punjab, India|Punjab]], [[India]], near the towns of [[Rupnagar|Rupnagar city]], [[Kiratpur Sahib]] and [[Anandpur Sahib]]. The village is situated on the bank of the [[Sutlej River]] about {{cvt|10|km|mi}} south of Anandpur, {{cvt|30|km|mi}} north of [[Rupnagar]] and {{cvt|90|km|mi}} from [[Chandigarh]] on the [[Nangal]]-[[Rupnagar]]-[[Chandigarh]] [[Roads in India|road]] ([[National Highway 21 (India)|National Highway 21]]).

[[Kiratpur Sahib]] was established in 1627, by the 6th Nanak, [[Guru Hargobind]], who bought the land from Raja Tara Chand of [[Kehloor]] through his son, Baba Gurditta. [[Guru Nanak Dev]] is said to have visited this place when it was little more than a wilderness. Guru Hargobind spent the last few years of his life here. Both Guru Har Rai and Guru Harkrishan were also born and received the Gurgadi (Guruship) here. It is a sacred place for the [[Sikh]]s.

The village is also associated with the memory of a Muslim saint, Pir Buddan Shah who, according to legends, lived about 800 years.

Guru [[Ramana Maharshi]] Gramin Vikas Sanstha, a non-government organisation, has been working for the welfare of local people and to improve the village.
