Barahachettra
Barahachhetra is a Hindu pilgrimage site. Among 4 chhetra in Hindu mythology two fall in India and two in Nepal. That is Kurukshetra & Dharmachhetra in India and Barahachhetra & Muktinath or Muktichhetra in Nepal. In every 12th year a kumbha mela is organized in Chataradham.
Lord Vishnu, by taking the incarnation of Varaha or Baraha protected the earth from being submerged into Patala (underworld) with his long tusk. Then the Lord sat with his wife Laxmi at the bank of Koshi River and the lap of Himalayas and hills. So, the place bore its name after that event. There is a big and beautiful image of the Baraha incarnation of Lord Vishnu.[citation needed]
