*Sheshnarayan**
Ward No. 5 of Dakshinkali Municipality is primarily known as Sheshnarayan, derived from the former Sheshnarayan Village Development Committee (VDC) whose wards 1-9 were merged to form this administrative unit.[5][6][7] Other neighborhoods or toles within the ward are not explicitly detailed in available sources, but it encompasses the core areas of the former Sheshnarayan VDC.[7]
This rural ward, with a population of 3,855, is located in the southern Kathmandu Valley and features Nag Devta or Nag Sthan (also known as Shesha Nag), a notable temple site dedicated to the serpent deity.[1] It is characterized by its hilly terrain, religious significance, and proximity to the renowned Dakshinkali Temple complex in nearby wards, attracting Hindu pilgrims.[3][5][10] The ward office serves local administrative needs in this predominantly agrarian community.[2][7]
