Chakla may refer to:

Brothel Place of prostitution

A brothel or bordello is a place where people engage in sexual activity with prostitutes. Technically, any premises where prostitution commonly takes place qualifies as a brothel. However, for legal or cultural reasons, establishments often describe themselves as massage parlors, bars, strip clubs, body rub parlours, studios, or by some other description. Sex work in a brothel is considered safer than street prostitution.

Chakla was a district level administrative division in Indian subcontinent during Mughal period. The chakla system was in practice at least at Bengal and Awadh provinces. Chakla was the major administrative division in a province, subah. It was further subdivided into Parganas; each Pargana was consisting of several villages.

Chak (village)

Chak, a Punjabi word, is the land revenue settlement/assessment circle marking a contiguous block of land, now the individual chak circles have come to be associated with the name of the village founded within the revenue circle. Chak circles are based on the British Raj era revenue collection system. To enhance the government revenue during the British Raj, new canals were built to bring the barani (barren) areas under cultivation by introducing the irrigation to the bangar (upland) areas of Punjab region. Block of contiguous land irrigated by the specific Rajwaha were given a unique chak number each. The migrant farmers were brought in to settle into those newly irrigated areas around the core of new villages [which started out as dhanis]. Those new villages were called by the same name as their corresponding irrigation circle chak number. Government left it to those residents to give "chaks" a proper village name later. In due time, the term "chak" became synonymous with the term "village".
