Pethmakhama is a village in Budgam district, in the Indian administrative union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It falls under the administrative division of tehsil Magam. It is famous for the shrine of Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani who stayed at various places in and around Kashmir and one example is Pethmakhama where he prayed for around two months.[6] The stone on which he prayed there, has the marks of praying on it miraculously and is preserved at Aasar-i-Shareef Pethmakhama.[6] The shrine also hosts beard hair as one of the holy Relics of Muhammad which is displayed to the devotees every year on the auspicious occasion of Mehraj ul Alam[7] and other festivals.[8] Pethmakhama is irrigated throughout the year by River Sukhnag[9][10] which is a tributary of Jhelum River and various springs[11] in the village.
