==History and culture== Rajgadh means "state of Rajbanshi", and was so named because it was the main residence of the Rajbanshi people; Rajbanshis still make up about half the population of Rajgadh. People from other groups such as Brahmin, Rai, and Limbu also live in Rajgadh. Rajgadh has several temples, including Shree Durga Mandir, Krishna Temple, Shiv Mandir, and Shree Dangi Laxmisthan.
