Parsagadhi

Parsagadhi is a municipality in Parsa District in Province No. 2, now Madhesh Province, of Nepal. It was formed in 2016 and occupies nine wards drawn from five former village development committees: Baghbanna, Biruwaguthi, Harpur, Panchrukhi and Bageswari Titrauna. The municipality has an area of 99.69 square kilometres and a total population of 38,067. Its name, written in Devanagari as पर्सागढी, recalls the Parsa area of the central Terai, where the reorganisation of local government in the 2010s replaced dozens of small village units with a smaller number of municipalities.
