Generally, privacy has not been treated that well in Nepal households. People in Nepal stay close to their family members; they even have close quarters with one another. The house of the villagers is also very near to each other. Your host will be around you usually. You can take them to them if you have any problems during your stay. You can have your alone time when you are in your room. Nepalese people believe in sharing everything with family. Moreover, if you want some privacy at any time you can simply tell them.

Historical Importance of Dhola Village at Jwalamukhi

Gadi Dando of Dhola rural development committee has got the historical importance when this place was ruled by Ghale rulers around 1445 AD (1500 BS). Historical records depict the existence of vernacular identity written in brick, copper coins, and stone states. There are three forts that were known as the residential place of Ghale rulers.

Drabya Shah was the founder of Gurkha Kingdom and during the reign of his son Purna Shah who got victory over the Salyan Kingdom in 1570 AD(1627 BS). Later on, Gorkha Kingdom became stronger one after another and started to get victory on Khari, Maidi, Dhading, and Charahe Kingdoms that were ruled by Ghale rulers. After the victory of Khari, there was a terrible fight between the Gorkha and Maile which was proven by the following historical statements:

“The troops of Gorkha won the battle with Khari Kingdom and took all their weapons and moved ahead to fight against the Maili armies. There was a massive fight between the armies of Gorkha and Maili where thousands of troops were killed and badly injured. Then the Gorkha soldiers started to cut the head of their enemies with the help of Gorkha knives.  Finally, Gorkha Kingdom got victory over the Maile Kingdoms even though they were stronger than Gorkha and Puran Shas as the king of Gorkha thanked his troops for winning the battle against his enemies. At that time, Dhola was the part of Maili kingdom, and later on, those places were divided as separate kingdoms because of the increase in population.

Its History

The age between 879 to 1769 AD (936 to 1826 BC) is known as the medieval age. There was a huge population of Mongolian community including Magars, Gurungs, and Ghale in the n=mid hilly areas of Nepal around 387 AD (444 BC). In the meantime, those places such as Khari, Maidi, Ramkot, Dhuwakot, Charange, etc of Dhading district were ruled by Ghale rulers. We can find the historical record that Ghale rulers had ruled the above-mentioned places till 1443 AD (1500 BC). We can find evidence that Dhola was the capital of Maidi kingdom during the reign of Ghale rulers.

According to the local resident Mr. Bishnu Lal Shrestha, the main entrance to Maidi kingdom was Dare Guada. He has protected the copper coins and other materials to justify his statements. Ghale rulers had chosen Dare Gauda as the main entrance because it is located on a top hill to protect the kingdom. On the other hand, Ghale rulers chose this place to see the wonderful view of the Himalayas.
