Arjundhara (Template:Lang-ne) is a municipality in Jhapa District of Province No. 1 in Eastern Nepal. It was formed in 2014[citation needed] by merging the former village development committees Arjundhara, Shanischare, and Khudunabari.[1][2] It was named Shani-Arjun initially but was changed to Arjundhara again in January 2017.[citation needed] It is named after a holy place situated here, Arjundhara Temple. At the time of the 2011 Nepal census it had a population of 60,205 people living in 13,623 individual households.[3]
History
Brief ancient history have an prof in existing the temple which belongs to ancient story Mahabharata. The pond inside the temple have that prof at the time when pandav were sentenced for banbas, Arjun pointed the arrow to the ground for thirsty cow who were in need of water. so it was name as Arjundhara. In 2017, the villages of Arjundhara and Sanischare merged to form Arjundhara municipality.[citation needed]
Sanischare/Arjundhara was home to the Dhakal family when they relocated from the nearby hills, particularly Namsaling in Ilam, to the plains. It’s worth mentioning that Sanischare, now known as Arjundhara, held a distinct honor as the first location in all of Nepal to establish a fruit canning factory during the 1960s. This pioneering venture was owned by Jaya Prasad Dhakal, who, in later life, dedicated a significant amount of his time to writing and critiquing Nepali literature. He was a pragmatist, and much of his writings drew inspiration from Postmodern literature.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Sanischare enjoyed a reputation as an industrious hub. However, challenges such as inflation and natural disasters, particularly flooding, briefly dampened its aspirations for growth and development.
Presently, Sanischare is experiencing a steady increase in population, particularly as it merges with Arjundhara, and strives to evolve into a progressive municipality, both in terms of politics and socio-economic reforms.[citation needed]Current mayor of Arjundhara Municipality is Baldev Singh Gomden Tamang.
