*Tokha Saraswati** (also spelled Saraswoti or Saraswoti area)[4][5][6]
Ward No. 3 of Tokha Municipality is primarily known as Tokha Saraswati, derived from the former Tokha Saraswoti Village Development Committee (VDCs), which forms wards 1-9 of this area, along with the northern parts of the former Gongabu VDC (wards 1 and 2).[4][5] Other neighborhoods or toles within this ward are not explicitly listed in available sources, but the ward office is situated near locales like Tokha Chandeshwari and Tokha Saraswati sub-health post, with nearby features including Bhutkhel pitch and Indrayani Hindu temple.[2]
This ward is part of the historical town of Tokha, from which the municipality takes its name, and is recognized for its connection to ancient sugarcane fields (“Tu khya” in Newari, meaning sugarcane field) that historically produced chaku for Newari sweets.[1][3][8] Notable nearby landmarks include Tokha Mun. Ward Office 03, Tokha Fitness, Aayansh Hospital, and Nawadurga Polyclinic, with Budhanilkantha Temple and Budhanilkantha School about 3.5 km northeast; the area features local amenities like hardware stores, hairdressers, and law offices.[2] It blends residential, governmental, and health services in a semi-urban setting of Kathmandu Valley.[6]
