# Tarkeshwar Rural Municipality

Tarakeshwar Rural Municipality is a Gaunpalika in Nuwakot District in Bagmati Province of central Nepal that was established in 11 March 2018 by merging the former Village Development Committees Khadga Bhanjyang(Ward no. 1 and 3), Gorsyang, Taruka and Dangsing. The headquarters of Tarkeshwor Gaupalika is located in Dangsing.

As it is located on the banks of the Trishuli River and has an on-site observation of the China-Nepal Railway from here, there is a good chance of prosperity if the opportunity is used properly.

It also has a high chance of tourist potential due to its historical, cultural and natural heritages, such as Taruka's Bull fighting, Dhiki-Jato Chulo and other site to make a name for itself in the National and International arena.

The Gaupalika is divided into 6 Wards.The total area of this Gaupalika is 72.62 square kilometer and the total population is 15,719 as per the 2011 Nepal census.

## Etymology

The Gaupalika is named as Tarakeshwor because of the Lord Shiva Temple located at Taruka which is known as Tarakeshwar.
