According to the 2001 Census[3], Babeli has a population of 590 people. Neighbouring villages include Domeli., Bhabhiana, Rampur Sunra, Jagpalpur, Sikri, Dugga, Ucha, and Musapur.
According to local tradition, Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji visited Gurdwara Chounta Sahib. The first Babbar Shaheedi Conference was held at Gurdwara Chaunta Sahib in 1946.[4]
Babeli is famous for Gurdwara Babbar Shaheed. On the 31st of August 1923, an encounter took place at Babeli village between Babbar Akalis[5] and the Police that left four Babbars killed. The martys were Baba Karam Singh Daulatpur, Baba Bishen Singh Mangat, Baba Uday Singh Rampur Jhuggian and Baba Mohinder Singh Pandori Ganga Singh. Locals confirm that the blood of the deceased turned the Narur choe water that flows near Babeli into the colour red. Since then the locals call the choe, the choe of the Babbars.
An annual Shaheedi Mela is held at Babeli village in memory of the martys.[6]
