Economic prosperity main goal: Mayor Mandal

Dhanushdham Municipality was formed by merging the former Dhanushdham, Dhanusha Govindapur, Umaprempur and Yagyabhumi village development committees. It is significant for its religious, historical, cultural and tourism value, including the famous Dhanusha Temple. According to Hindu mythology, when Lord Ram broke Shiva's bow (Pinaka) to win Sita's hand in marriage, the bow shattered into three parts. It is believed that one piece went to the sky, the second to the netherworld and the third fell at Dhanushdham. The municipality is named after this famous pilgrimage site. With its nine wards, the municipality is predominantly inhabited by various ethnic groups and farmers. Our correspondent Bijay Kumar Sah interviewed Mayor Baleshwar Mandal , who was elected for the second time from the Nepali Congress in the second local election.
