==Etymology== The word Matatirtha comes from two Sanskrit words, "Mata" meaning mother and "tirtha" meaning a sacred place. The VDC owes its name from a sacred pond in the VDC dedicated to mother. Matatirtha is a sacred place and famous because of the religious aspects and values. Every year on mother's day thousands of people gather together to celebrate the day. Only the people who don't have their mother take a dip into the sacred pond and perform religious rituals in the temple. People from different religions visit and worship there.
