*Khokana**
Ward No. 21 of Lalitpur Metropolitan City is primarily known as Khokana, a former Village Development Committee (VDC) now integrated into the municipality.[1][5][6][8] It encompasses the main settlement of Khokana, an ancient Newar town located about 8 km south of Kathmandu, covering roughly 3.2 sq km, with no other distinct neighborhoods or toles explicitly listed within the ward boundaries in available sources.[1][5] Khokana is renowned for its cultural heritage, including traditional Newar architecture, the nickname “land of oil/khona” due to historical mustard oil production, festivals like Dyo Pukhu Jatra, and landmarks such as Karya Vinayak and Shikali Khyo.[1][5][8]
