Although Rautahat District is separated from the Sarlahi District by Bagmati River in most of its parts, the exceptions are Badaharwa, Dharmapuri and Sedhwa village. Consequently, the village faces Sarlahi district in the east, Matsari village in the north, Saruatha and Jhunkhunwa village in the west and Basatpur village in the south.

Economy

The major occupations of people in this village are farming, government services, construction works, and factory works (often working abroad either in Indian cities such as Ludhiana, Mumbai, Delhi, etc., in Arab countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia etc., or in Malaysia). Occasionally, residents also travel to Punjab to work as labourers in fields. Many people work in Kathmandu Valley as freelancers. Such work includes fruit selling, work in footpath garment stores, and cutting hair (especially by the people belonging to the "Hajam caste").
