Using the observed flat galactic rotation curve feature and taking into account the presence of anisotropic dark matter with a Hernquist density profile, the space-time geometry of the halo region in galaxies is derived. The gravitational field inside the halo is attractive in nature, and the resultant space-time is flat. We find that our solution affirms the existence of stable circular orbits in the dark halo region. The expression for the equation of state parameter indicates that the matter within the dark halo is non-exotic in nature. An analysis is also conducted on several other aspects of the solution.
