Katahariya

Southern Asia

Katahariya is a municipality in Rautahat District in the south-east of Nepal. Until September 2017 it was a village development committee of eight wards; it then became a municipality by merging Hathiyahi, Birti Prastoka, Bhasedhawa, Bagahi, Balirampur and Pipra Pokhariya, and it now has nine wards. The local economy rests on business and farming, and the town is known for a mutton dish called Katiya and for its vegetable and cattle markets. At the 1991 census the village committee had 4,619 people. The mayor elected in May 2022 was suspended in June 2024 after a corruption case was filed.
