Vyas (Byas), is a municipality of Tanahun District located in Gandaki Pradesh in Nepal and incorporates the village Damauli, the district's headquarter, for which the municipality is also often referred to as Damauli.[2] The municipality was established by merging the former Village development committee Damauli with several of its neighbors,[when?] the most recent merger being the one with Pokhari Bhanjyang in 2014. It lies on the bank of Madi Khola.
It is one of the municipalities, which could be formed after re-establishment of multiparty democracy in 1991 A.D.[3] At the time of the 2011 Nepal census it had a population of 70,335 people living in 18,339 individual households.[4]
It is believed that Sage Vyasadeva (different from the current Vyasa known as Krishna Dwaipayana Vyasa) was born in the vicinity of Vyas, for which the municipality was named after him.[5]
