Akhnoor, Historical city in Jammu district, India
The city of Akhnoor extends along the banks of the Chenab River at an elevation of 301 meters within the Jammu district.
Archaeological excavations revealed that Akhnoor contained settlements from the Indus Valley civilization, with terracotta figures and artifacts from that period.
