Geography

It is located in the Indo-Gangetic plain region of India.

The only river that flows through the village is the Burhi Gandak River.

Due to the river being prone to floods,[1] a levee, referred to as “Bandh” (Hindi: बांध) by local residents, has been constructed parallel to the Burhi Gandak River to prevent flooding of the adjoining countryside.

Transport

A bridge on the Burhi Gandak River called the Chhatauna Bridge connects the village to other villages on the northern bank of the river.[2]

Demographics

The village has 12,943 residents, 6,796 male and 6,147 female.

53 percent of the village is illiterate.[3]
