¨Basahiya is a 24-ward Janakpur sub-metropolitan city in the Dhanusha District of the Janakpur Zone in south-eastern Nepal.[1] At the time of the 1991 Nepal census, it had a population of 4,542 and 737 homes, and the total geographical area of the village was 501.56 hectares (5.0156 square kilometers). Basahiya has four government schools, three primary schools and one secondary school. The majority of the population is Hindu and a small part is Muslim. The native language of Basahiya is Maithili. The climate is moderate and the land is suitable for agriculture. Basahiya has one hospital and one veterinary clinic.[2]
History
The name Basahiya derives from the Hindu marriage custom "Basgari", which is related to the marriage of Lord Sita's Basgari. There is a belief among locals that the Basahiya village was made by a sadhu who placed their 'kutti' at the Balthara Pond, and that the relatives of those sadhus are still present in the village. Residents worship their ancestors every year at Balthara Pond. A sculpture of Baal Bhagwan (Child Krishna), worshipped by the sadhus, was found there but was later removed by the government as it was believed to be made of precious metals. There is also evidence that indicates Baltra may have been the first human-inhabited site of this village, as the ancient historical Guthi of Basahiya was also named after this Balthara Pond, as Balthara Birtha Guthi in the Tama Patra of बसहिया मंठ. This region is located at 26°41'50" north of the equator and 85°54'50" east of the Prime Meridian.[3]
