In the first episode of Disney+ Ms. Marvel, Kamala goes to a different dimension when she puts the bracelet on. What's that place where she goes to?

The commentary for the episode says she falls into a portal where shadowy figures with glowing eyes are present.

    It's likely that we're going to have to wait for more episodes to get an answer to this. Kamala's powers and origin have been dramatically changed (presumably because they didn't want to have to tie in with The Inhumans), so there's unlikely to be a clear answer from the comics.

As of the third episode, it is suggested that she is visiting the Noor Dimension, the homeworld of a group that are sometimes known as Djinn when visiting Earth.

It has also been suggested that the scene resembles a distorted view of a crowded train, as in the situation where her grandmother Sana was separated from her family at the train station during their escape during the Partition, and how she followed a trail of stars to return, possibly tying in with her great-grandmother Aisha's disappearance and the vision of an oncoming train in the third episode, suggesting that Aisha is attempting to reach out to her descendant.

Kamala had a vision of the past (the 1947 Partition of India).

It's not a vision of a different dimension. Kamala had a vision of the 1947 Partition of India, at the train station where Sana (Kamala's grandmother), Hasan (Sana's father), and Aisha (Sana's mother) were fleeing to Pakistan. The "shadowy figures" in the episode 1 vision were the huge crowd of people fleeing to Pakistan.

In episode 2, Kamala had another vision while wearing the bangle, but this time, of a woman gesturing at her. That woman was Aisha (as revealed in episode 5). In episode 3, Kamala had another vision, of a train with a sign that says "Karachi".

Sana: Did you see the train, beta? [...] Because I saw it too.

Kamala (to Sana): Nani, is it the same train? The one that we're seeing in the visions? Is it that train from that night?
Sana: Yes.

The visions Kamala had in episodes 1, 2, and 3 were visions of being summoned back in time to the train station by Aisha (through the bangle). Aisha summoned Kamala (as revealed in episode 5) to guide Sana (who got lost in the crowd) back to Sana's father.

This time-travel summoning is a causal loop, as Kamala ended up guiding her own grandmother ("she followed a trail of stars") to her great-grandfather, allowing them both to safely flee to Pakistan.

Sana: [...] when the bangle was used the last time, it saved my life.
