Argha is a Market Center in Sandhikharka Municipality of Arghakhanchi District in Lumbini Province of southern Nepal. Its fort (kot) was the centre of a former Chaubisi kingdom, the Kingdom of Argha, which was annexed to Nepal in 1786.[1] The former village development committee (VDC) was converted into a municipality on 18 May 2014 by merging the existing Sandhikharka, Wangla, Narapani, Khanchikot, Keemadada, Argha and Dibharna VDCs.[2][3] At the 1991 Nepal census, the town had a population of 8,248 living in 1,712 houses.[4] At the 2001 Nepal census, the population was 5,947, of which 60% was literate.[4]
