==History== Giddarbaha in its earliest stage was known as Pepali () named after an old pipal tree. It was a very happy and small village with limited number of people. According to local tradition, when Shri Guru Gobind Singh ji visited Pepali, he saw ladies of the village disturbed by a jackal () when they went to fetch water from the well. He asked the villagers about this and they told him that everybody in this village was married except the jackal. After knowing the problem, Guruji arranged the marriage of jackal to the pipal tree. From there that village was renamed by the locals to Giddar vyahya ().
