Bhala Khar

Bhala Khar (also Palākhar, Bhalakar, Bhalākaris) is a village and union council in Punjab, Pakistan.

On 1 July 2004, Bhala Khar became the Union Council of Tehsil Kallar Syeda. Rawalpindi District was a Union Council of the Tehsil Kahuta.

"Palakhar" is a combination of two words 'polkh' and 'kaar'. The first word, '<nowiki/>polkh<nowiki/>', refers to Polakh Khan Gakhar, the father of Sultan Hathi Gakhar. Hathi Gakhar was the chief of the Pothwar region, and fought against the Mughal emperor Zahir ud-din Muhammad. The second word, '<nowiki/>kaar<nowiki/>', means "home", as it was the home of Polakh Gakhar, who is buried in Bhala Khar along with Zahir ud deen Babur.
