Overview
Bhajani is a municipality in Kailali District in Nepal's Sudurpashchim Province. It lies in the southern part of the district near the Nepal–India border and is administered through nine wards. The municipality is bordered by Tikapur Municipality and Joshipur Rural Municipality to the east, Kailari Rural Municipality to the west, Ghodaghodi Municipality to the north, and Tikunia in Uttar Pradesh, India, to the south. Its geographic position gives it a regional connection to both the wider Kailali area and communities across the international border. According to Nepal's 2011 census, Bhajani had a population of 52,128. Tharu people formed the largest ethnic community, accounting for approximately two-thirds of residents, and Tharu was also the most widely reported first language. Nepali, Doteli, Achhami, Hindi, Raji, Maithili, and Urdu were among the other languages spoken. The census recorded a predominantly Hindu population, with smaller Christian, Muslim, and Buddhist communities. Literacy data from the same census indicated that 60.2 percent of residents could read and write, while 36.4 percent could neither read nor write. Bhajani is a local-government jurisdiction rather than a commercial consumer brand. Its public identity is associated with municipal administration, local services, infrastructure, community development, and representation of its diverse Terai and far-western population. The available reference material does not establish a separate product portfolio, commercial ownership structure, founding date, financial profile, or named corporate leadership. The municipality's official website provides an institutional channel for public information.
History
Bhajani is a municipality located in Kailali District of Sudurpashchim Province, Nepal. The available reference material describes its present administrative boundaries and demographic profile but does not provide a documented institutional founding date, a detailed account of municipal formation, or a chronology of changes in local-government status. It is therefore not possible to establish a fuller historical narrative without additional reliable sources. The municipality occupies a strategically located area in southern Kailali. Its boundaries connect it with several neighboring local jurisdictions and with Tikunia in Uttar Pradesh, India. This setting places Bhajani within the interconnected social and economic landscape of Nepal's western Terai, while its municipal structure organizes local administration through nine wards. The 2011 Nepal census provides the principal historical snapshot available in the supplied material. It recorded 52,128 residents and showed that Bhajani was predominantly Tharu in both language and ethnicity. Tharu was the first language of 65.7 percent of the population, followed by Nepali at 15.4 percent. Other reported languages included Doteli, Achhami, Hindi, Raji, Maithili, and Urdu. In ethnic and caste terms, Tharu residents represented 65.9 percent of the population, followed by Chhetri, Kami, Hill Brahmin, Raji, and several other communities. The census also recorded a predominantly Hindu population, accounting for 96.5 percent of residents, alongside Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, and other religious communities. Literacy was mixed: 60.2 percent of residents could read and write, 3.3 percent could read only, and 36.4 percent could neither read nor write. These figures provide context for the municipality's social composition and public-service environment, but they should not be treated as current population or literacy estimates. No later demographic figures, municipal election results, budget information, or leadership records are included in the supplied source material.
