It is located at 32°39'0N 73°36'0E at an altitude of 218 metres (718 feet) and lies to the north-east of the district capital Mandi Bahauddin.

The most notable site in the centre of the village is a war memorial and graveyard which contains graves of British officers and mass graves of soldiers of the opposing sides at the Battle of Chillianwala. It is both deeply respected by the citizens of Chillianwala, and surrounding towns and villages; a few million rupees have been donated by the Government of Punjab for the restoration of the war memorial and graveyard whereas further efforts are still being put in to highlight its historical importance and military significance.
