Arjundhara Municipality

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.

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. Current mayor of Arjundhara Municipality is Baldev Singh Gomden Tamang.
