Karbhala Complex in Pakki Dhaki (also written Pacci Dhaki), located in the Old Heritage City of Jammu (PIN 180001), is a culturally significant religious and commemorative site associated with the Shia Muslim community. The complex is a focal point of Muharram and Chehlum observances in Jammu; every year large processions honouring the martyrs of Karbala conclude here, reflecting the deep local tradition of remembering Imam Hussain and his companions. � The name “Karbhala” (also spelled Karbala) refers to the sacred city in Iraq where the Battle of Karbala took place in 680 CE, and complexes like this one serve as symbolic grounds for prayer, reflection, and gathering during religious commemorations. Although detailed historical records about the exact date of establishment and founder are not comprehensively documented online, the site is well recognised and rated locally (about 4.5 stars in directory listings), and it forms part of Jammu’s rich tapestry of historic mosques, shrines, and heritage spaces in the old city area. �
