Bara District

Bara District is an administrative division in southern Nepal's Terai region, covering a broad expanse of flat terrain. The landscape is shaped by several rivers that flow through the area, including the Bakaiya and Jamuniya.

The district was formed through Nepal's governmental restructuring and has grown to become a significant region. Over time, it has developed economic importance within the country's administrative structure.

The population of 763,137 residents includes Maithils, Tharus, and other ethnic groups, with Bhojpuri speakers representing 73.9 percent of inhabitants.

The district headquarters in Kalaiya serves as the main hub connecting the area to surrounding regions. The Tribhuvan Highway provides convenient access for visitors and commerce throughout the territory.

The region is home to Gadhimai Temple, which draws thousands of visitors every five years for its major festival. This sacred site serves as a gathering place for pilgrims traveling from Nepal and neighboring countries.
