Khari Sharif

Khari Sharif (كهڑي شريف) is an agricultural area between Mirpur and Jhelum of Azad Kashmir, Pakistan.

Broadly speaking, Alaqa-e-Khari (translation in English: Area of Khari) refers to the fertile plains of Khari which exist between the mountains of Mirpur and the river Jhelum.

It is located at a distance of 8 km from the city of Mirpur, Azad Kashmir and is known for housing the shrines of Sufi saints known as Pir Shah Ghazi Qalandar Damri Wali Sarkar and Mian Muhammad Bakhsh.

[1][2] The place acts as a great seat of learning for students of Islam.

Historically it was a residence of a famous dervish of this region.
