*Jatigaal**
Ward No. 2 of Madhyapur Thimi Municipality is primarily known as Jatigaal, a specific neighborhood or tole in this Bhaktapur district municipality within the Kathmandu Valley.[4][5][6] Other neighborhoods or toles within this ward are not explicitly listed in available sources, though nearby areas like Lokanthali (Ward 1) suggest a contiguous Newari settlement pattern.[2][1]
Jatigaal is an administrative hub with its own ward office led by officials such as Manoj Sharma (ward official) and Sabina Roka (health coordinator), serving a population integrated into Madhyapur Thimi’s ancient Newari cultural core near Balkumari Temple.[4][5][6][1] It features local institutions like Lokanthali Pra.Vi. school and reflects Thimi’s historical role as a central trade and defensive settlement between Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur, characterized by elevated terrain and traditional Newar heritage.[1][5]
