Dharan

Tayaripchi Park, which later was renamed Sakela Park, was still under construction during the research in 2012. It is situated in Itahari that is grown together with Dharan. One of the main intiators was Parja Bahadur Rai and the park stands under the flag of Kirat Rai Yayokkha organization. The park features statues representing figures from Rai mythology (such as the creator couple Sumnima and Paruhang) and circular sakela dance grounds. Sakela Park is a public Park for promoting Rai heritage. During sakela season, Rai dances are performed in the Park.
