'''Hazratbal''' is a notified area situated in the [[Srinagar district]] of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. It is about {{cvt|10|km}} from the [[Lal Chowk|Srinagar city center]]. The area became famous after the construction of [[Hazratbal Shrine]], where hundreds of thousands of people visit every year because many relics related to the [[Islamic prophet]] [[Muhammad]] are believed to be there.

The word ''Hazrat'' in [[Urdu]] gives an indication of "respect" and ''bal'' in Kashmiri means "place"''.'' Thus, the word ''Hazratbal'' means the place which is highly respected among the people. The [[Dal Lake]] and its houseboats in the vicinity made the city a tourist spot, and the area's economy depended on tourism.

The grave of [[Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah]] is situated in the area.

The postal code of the area is 190006.<ref name="getpincode">{{cite web|url=http://www.getpincode.info|title=GetPincode - Indian pincode search engine|publisher=getpincode.info|access-date=2014-08-07}}</ref>
