Terhathum district, a part of Kosi zone, is one of the seventy-five districts of Nepal, a landlocked country of South Asia. The district, with Terhathum as its district headquarters, covers an area of 679 sq km and has a population (2001) of 113,111. The word Tehrathum is constructed from thirteen (tehra) and thum (castle or fort). The town supposedly is the site of one of a series of guard posts once protecting the territory of the Limbus (Limbuan). Therathum is also locally known as Myanglung, or Myanglung Bazar. Myanglung is onomatopoeic for the sound of a cat meowing and refers to an old tradition of a Hindu temple (still extant) in the town which had a resident cat.
