Karbala is the real name of the city. It is a city in Iraq, located approximately 80 kilometers southwest of Baghdad.
The name "Karbala" itself is of Arabic origin and has historical and religious significance. It is believed to derive from the Arabic word "karb," which means "grief" or "sorrow." This name reflects the city's association with the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, in the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE.
The city is a major pilgrimage site for Shia Muslims, who visit the Imam Hussein shrine and the shrine of his brother Abbas.
