Dhoke Budhal (Urdu:ÃÂþÃÂé èïÃÂçÃÂ) (U.C Narali) is a village in Rawalpindi District, of Punjab, Pakistan.
In the Pothohari dialect of Punjabi, "Dhoke" means a small chunk of people or houses, while Budhal is the title given to a specified group of "Awan" tribe. As most of the inhabitants (about 98%) of this village are of the Awan "Budhal" descent, the name depict the "abode of Budhals".
The village is located at 33ð 08' 00.60" N and 73ð 09' 48.60" E in the northern part of Union Council Narali. Dhoke Manna is bordering North East side of village, Miana Mohra touches the boundary of Dhoke Budhal to South-East, Narali is located in south, while north west side is covered by PPL oil fields and Village Mastala.
It is believed that Qadi Khan ÃÂçïàîçà(Awan tribal leader), moved to Narali from Dora Budhal ÃÂÃÂñàèïþçàduring the 18th century. When, how and why Budhals moved to current location of Dhoke Budhal is not known. The presence of only one tribe (i.e. Awan) and all Sunni Muslims indicates that either this community never accepted outsiders or other communities not tried to move in this village.
