It's located about 16 miles to the north-west of the district headquarters and administered under Chakhar union of Banaripara sub-district. It is also home of some aristocratic Muslim families and Zammindars of Mughal era.

During the early 1930s, Huq bequeathed his entire homestead and other ancestral properties at Chakhar for the interests of education. Chakhar, also patronised and inspired by him, gradually became an important centre of culture and education.
