Samba district, Administrative district in Jammu division, India

The district spans 914 square kilometers along the Jammu-Pathankot highway, with the Basantar River flowing through its eastern boundary towards Pakistan.

Established around 1400 AD, Samba became part of Jammu and Kashmir in 1846 when Raja Gulab Singh annexed the territory during his expansion.

The Rath Kharda Mela brings the community together at Narsingh and Annapurna Temple in Ghagwal for an eight-day celebration with religious ceremonies.

Samba railway station on the Jammu-Delhi line connects the district to major cities, while National Highway 44 provides road access throughout the region.

The district contains eight administrative blocks and maintains a strategic position near the Line of Control between Indian and Pakistani territories.
