Takhat Hazara (old name: Khajjiyan Wala) is a village near the Chenab River in the Sargodha District of Punjab, Pakistan.[2]
When a Mughal king came to this place, he liked to stay here. His throne was set here. This village has seven doors around 80 km of the circle. Takhat Hazara and Takhat Mahal are the two big and famous gates or doors to enter in the village Takhat Hazara or in Takhat Mahal. That's why its name came to be known as Takhat Hazara. It is located at an altitude of 192 meters (633 feet).[3] This is the town where Ranjha was born, the protagonist of the famous Punjabi folk love story of Heer Ranjha.[4]
