Culture
A temple of Lord Shiva called Parasnath Mahadev was excavated. While digging, villagers found a half constructed building with four five foot tall pillars, a stone ladder, and a philosopher's stone 'paras pathar' (पारस/पारसमणि). Villagers completed the building. After some years, King Birendra bir bikram shah visited the temple. Months after the king's visit, the paras pathar was stolen.

The villagers are poor, and farming is their main occupation. Most houses are made of mud and straw. One school offers primary education.
