Jamara (الجَمَرَة) means a heap of stones, and its plural is Jamarat (الجَمَرات). The three Jamaras are located in Mina, near Mecca. It is said that it was here that Adam (a) forced away Satan, who was chasing him by throwing pebbles. Following this tradition, the pilgrims throw stones at each Jamara on 10th and 12th days of Hajj rituals. (see: Ramy al-Jamarat)
