'''Zakatkhana''' is a village in the [[Bilaspur district, Himachal Pradesh|Bilaspur district]] of [[Himachal Pradesh]], Northern India surrounded on three sides by the [[Govind Sagar]] lake, which was created by the building of the [[Bhakra Dam]] on the [[Sutlej River]]. Zakatkhana lies {{convert|8|km}} from [[Swarghat]].<br />
<br />
The name derives from ''zakat'' meaning "[[Toll road|toll]] tax" owing to the village's "toll tax barrier" at the time of the [[British Raj]]. Zakatkhana is on the old National Highway-21 from Bilaspur to [[Rupnagar]] in Punjab before 1954, when it was merged following construction of the [[Bhakhra Dam]]. To reach the village one can take NH 21 from [[Chandigarh]] and after travelling {{convert|100|km}} from Chandigarh there is a small hill station at Swarghat.<br />
<br />
This village is also known as land of temples as it is the location of the Sidh baba Balak nath mandir and is also home to the Rupeshwar Mahadev and Maa Sherawali temples.<br />
<br />
Zakatkhana Pin code is 174011 and people of Zakatkhana village use Hindi language for communication.<br />
