पर्ब
छठ नेपालको तराई क्षेत्रमा श्रद्धा एवं भक्तिपूर्वक छठ पर्व मनाइन्छ । यस पर्वको अवसरमा पञ्चमीका दिनदेखि व्रत बस्ने महिला तथा पुरुषले निष्ठापूर्वक पवित्र जलाशयमा स्नान गरी बेलुकीपख दूध, चामल र सख्खरको खीर पकाई प्रसादको रूपमा आफूले खाने र व्रत नबस्ने परिवारका सदस्यलाई पनि ख्वाउने चलन छ । परम्परानुसार छठका दिन साँझ अस्ताउँदो सूर्यलाई जलाशयमा उभिएर पूजासहित अर्घ दिएपछि रातभर नदी तथा तलाउ किनारमा बसी भजनकीर्तन गर्दै भोलिपल्ट सप्तमीका दिन बिहान उदाउँदो सूर्यलाई पुनः अर्घ दिई पूजा विसर्जन गरिन्छ । पवित्र मनले छठ पर्व मनाउँदा पारिवारिक कल्याण, सन्तानसुख तथा मनोकामना पूरा हुने विश्वास गरिन्छ ।
इतिहास
सृष्टिको सुरुवातदेखि नै सूर्यको उपासना गरिंदै आएको पाइन्छ । अग्नि पुराणमा पनि षष्ठी व्रतको प्रसंग उल्लेख छ । चौध वर्षको वनवास र एक वर्षको अज्ञातवास बसेको बेला कुन्ती, द्रौपदी सहित पाण्डवले यो व्रत गरेको वर्णन महाभारतमा पाइन्छ । त्रेता युगमा राजा दशरथकी रानी कौशल्याले पनि यो व्रत गरेको बताइन्छ । कात्तिक महिनामा मनाइने छठलाई ठूलो छठ भनिन्छ । चैतको षष्ठी तिथिमा पनि केही ठाउँमा यो पर्व मनाइन्छ ।
विधि
सूर्य उपासनासँग सम्बन्धित छठ पर्व प्रत्येक वर्ष कात्तिकशुक्ल पञ्चमी र षष्ठीका दिन मनाइने गरिन्छ । व्रत बस्नेहरू स्नान गरेर उपवास बसी आत्मशुद्धि गर्छन्, जसलाई खर्ना भनिन्छ । षष्ठीका दिन नदी र पोखरीको घाटमा व्रतालुहरूले स्नान गरी बेलुकाको समयमा जलाशयमा उभिएर सूर्यलाई फलफूल, ठेकुवा र कसार अर्घ दिन्छन् । व्रतालु भक्तजनहरू राती धेरैजसो नदी किनारमा बास बस्छन् भने केही घर फर्किन्छन् । तर शुद्धाशुद्धिको धेरै विचार गर्नुपर्ने भएकाले कहीं कतै अशुद्ध नहोस् भन्नेमा उनीहरू सजग हुन्छन् । शुद्ध भावनाले यो व्रत गर्नाले तुरुन्त फल पनि पाइने धर्मावलम्बीहरूको विश्वास छ । त्यसकारण मनले मात्र शुद्ध नभएर सबैथोक चोखो हुनुपर्ने हुनाले व्रतालुहरूले मात्र नभई सम्पूर्ण परिवारले नै यसलाई कडाइका साथ पालना गर्छ ।

जिल्लाको नामाकरण
यस जिल्लाको नाम बर्दिया रहनुको पछाडी विभिन्न जनश्रुति धार्मिक एवं पौराणिक आख्यानहरु रहेको पाइन्छ । ती मध्ये केही यस प्रकार छन -
- स्थानीय थारुभाषामा गाई गोरुलाई वलिबर्द भनिने र यहाँका गाई गोरु राम्रा मोटाघाटा र बलिया हुनेहुँदा यो ठाउँलाई वलिबर्द भनिएकोमा पछि अपभ्रंस भई बर्दिया भएको र यसै आधारमा जिल्लाको नामाकरण गरिएको मानिन्छ । ऐश्वर्य र सवृद्धिका प्रतिकका रुपमा रहेको गोरुलाई संस्कृत भाषामा पनि वलिबर्द नै भनिन्छ ।
- पदनाह गाविसमा वारवर्दिया भन्ने गाँउ छ पहिले यसै ठाउँ मा हरिहर राजाको दरबार थियो । बारबर्दियामा खेतिको लागि उन्नत जमिन भएको कारण बाहिरवाट बसाई सराई गरी यसै ठाउँमा आउनथाले र यो ठाउँ प्रसिद्ध हुन थाल्यो अन्तमा यसै ठाउँको नामबाट बर्दिया जिल्ला नामाकरण रहन गएको हो भन्ने भनाई छ ।
- थारु भाषामा गाईगोरु पाल्नेलाई वर्दवा भनिन्छ । वर्दिया जिल्लामा गाईगोरुलाई प्रशस्त चरण क्षेत्र भएकोले धेरै गाई गोरु पाल्ने र वर्दवाहरु धेरै बसोबास गर्ने भएकाले पछि वर्दवा बाट अपभ्रंस भई बर्दिया जिल्ला नामकरण रहेको हो भन्ने पनि भनाई छ ।

Dharan Etymology
The name of the city originates from "Dharan", which literally means a place where you saw timber. A typical Dharan is constructed by digging a rectangular plot about 5 to 6 feet deep. This hole is large and deep enough for an adult to comfortably move about. A platform is constructed to cover half the hole. A timber is placed on this platform and two man team, one standing on the platform and the other in the dug out proceed to saw timber with a huge saw blade. This is very labor intensive and dangerous process.
Dharan History
Dharan started as a small trading settlements. Over the last couple of decades, the population of Dharan has increased and diversified to include people from various ethnicities like Limbu, Rai, Gurung, Newar, Brahmins, Chhetris etc.
The modern Dharan's foundation was laid in 1902 A.D. by prime minister Chandra Samsher. He established a small village at the foot of Bijayapur hillock and named it Chandranagar (now Purano Bajar). The purpose was to supply timber to East India Company, who in 1890s had expanded its North Eastern territory and was laying railway tracks. The first government official to be appointed in this small village of Chandranagar was Subba Ratna Prasad. A settlement grew steadily over the course of time. This growing settlement was named Juddha Nagar (now Naya Bazaar) after Prime minister Juddha Samsher. It was declared a municipal town in 1960.
The British Gorkha Recruit Center was established in 1953 and this increased the flow of people and expansion of the town. Recruits from all over Nepal flocked to join British Gurkha, thereby drastically altering the face of Dharan. There was a surge in population with recruits bringing their families, and others who came to seek employment and exploit business opportunities. As a result, Dharan has emerged as one of the biggest towns in eastern Nepal. It is in true sense a melting pot of different ethnic groups, languages, dialects and religions.
In 1962, Nepal was divided into 14 administrative zones and 75 districts and Dharan was made the zonal headquarters of Kosi Zone. Initially, the town was divided into eleven wards, but in 1980 Banjjhogara Gaon Panchayat at the east (which is now the most developed area of Dharan) and Ghopa Gaon Panchayat at the west were added to Dharan Town Panchayat. This expansion led to the reformation of the wards. Now Dharan is divided into nineteen wards.

Dang
Before Independence several wars were fought between the five tribal kings of Dang and the British. According to the history of Dang, the biggest ever war took place at Lashkaria Amba, in which kings of all five erstwhile states got together to protect Dang from British rule. The British were beaten and decided to discontinue war and resorted to compromise.
As per historic compromise treaty was signed in 1842 according to which the Britishers were allowed to use the forests and their natural products against which they had to pay certain amount around 3,000 silver coins to the five kings of the then monarchy. However, currently the kings are offered monthly political pension by the Government of India, which is the main source of their income. This payment is continued even though all privy purses for the Princely states of India was stopped in 1970 since the agreement was between then monarchy of Dangs and the British.
Every year during the financial end the Kings gather in Ahwa for a traditional royal ceremony in their richly decorated buggies, bands with tribal dancers to receive the payment as per the agreement of 1842. In ancient Indian Scriptures Dang is known as Dand Aranyaka, meaning Bamboo Forest.

I am a girl from remote village named lekhani of baglung distict..Here are some information about baglung district which I get help from internet.
Baglung is the headquarter of Dhawalagiri zone. It is surrounded by parvat, myagdi, rukum, rolpa, pyuthan, gulmi districts. It looks like Nepal in shape. It had 59 village development committees and one municipality. it has many rivers and streams and so many bridges. It is a hilly district, most of the population settled in the sides of the rivers. Headquarter of Baglung (Baglung Bazaar) is also situated in the bank of the holy river- Kaligandaki. Like Nepal, Baglung is also diverse in religion, culture; temperature etc.Hinduism and Buddhism are the major religion. Magar, Chhetri, Brahmin, Newar, Gurung, and Thakali are the main ethnic groups residing in Baglung.
Baglung is rich in herbal medicine plants.rice, corn, maize and potato are the major crops of baglung there are many mines in use in baglung in the past, iron and copper mines being the most prewalent..But they are not use for longtime because of the heedlessness of the government. There are numerous slate mines in use in Baglung. These slates are excellent for roofing. Baglung Bazaar, Hatiya- Galkot, Kushmi Sera and Burtibang are the main trading centers of Baglung. Galkot, Kushmi Sera and Burtibang are connected with the district headquarter Baglung Bazaar by raw roads. Small part of Baglung is electrified by Nepal Electricity Authority and some other parts are electrified by small local hydro plants. Recently, telephone has been accessible in almost all villages of Baglung.
Baglung is considered to be one of the politically most conscious districts and it plays a significant role in the Nepali politics.
Baglung bazar has been a trading town since ancient times frequented by traders from north and south. More recently, it is visited by tourists seeking to trek to Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, dhorpatan and dolpo. A well-paved but winding highway connects the town with Pokhara 72 km to the east. Highways to connect Jomsom, Mustang, Tibet to the north, Rukum via Burtibang and Dhorpatan to the west and Sera Bazar via airport (probably will see an extension to Palpa) to the south are under construction.
Mt. Dhaulagiri seen from Baglung
Baglung airport, now defunct, is located 12 km to the south of the town. This was the only connection to the outside world before completion of the highway. Above the airport is the famous shrine of Lord Bhairav. The latter is a long walk up the mountain through Paiyunpata (where the High school is located) taking 4–5 hours. Once at the top one has a breathtaking view of the surrounding Himalayas and Kusma Bazaar. Baglung has experienced a rapid expansion after the completion of Pokhara-Baglung Highway in the mid-90s. There is now a summer road that connects Baglung to Balewa—where the airport is located.
History of Baglung
History of Baglung can be traced back to early 16th century. King Pratapi Nayayan of Galkot married the princess of Palpa. The king brought goddess kali along with him as dowry. Legend follows; nobody was able to carry the sword of Kali. A youth from Kunwar chhetri family was finally able to carry the sword. He was given the honorary title of Khadka (‘khadga’ meaning the sword). One night when the wedding procession reached where Baglung is today, the king had a dream. In his dream goddess Kali said she liked the place and wished to stay there. The king then built a temple in honor of goddess Kali and designated the Khadka as caretaker. This was in 1590 B.S. (1533 A.D.). Significant population of Khadka Chhetris can be found in Baglung till date. The strategic location of Baglung soon helped it to grow into a trading town. King Pratapi Narayan also started the tradition of holding an annual fair during ‘Chaitre Dashain’. The fair is still held annually and draws thousands of visitors every year during the two day event. Baglung remained to stay a major trading point in Parvat kingdom, where merchants from south came to trade for salt brought by Traders from Tibet. Major trade was carried along the Kali Gandaki valley between India and Tibet by Thakali people. Newar merchants migrated to Baglung from Bhaktapur in 18th century. Baglung became part of Greater Nepal (Bishal Nepal) under unification war led by King Prithvi Narayan Shah. Under unified Nepal, several government offices were established and the town was designated as administrative headquarters of the region. Since then it has remained the most important political and economic town in the Dhaulagiri Zone
