6 badghars including one original badghar have been selected by the gathering of 5 tolls of Gularia Municipality-5 Walapur. After the meeting and discussion of the villagers held on Saturday, the original Badghar was elected unanimously under the chairmanship of Kali Prasad Chaudhary.
Chowdhury was also elected as the main bardghar last year. The ability to become a Badghar (leader) is chosen every year after the end of the Maghi festival. Only those who can give time and shoulder the responsibility have taken this position.
Similarly, Buddhiram Chaudhary, Jagulal Chaudhary, Dayashankar Chaudhary, Tihar Bahadur Chaudhary and Sulfi Chaudhary were selected in Badghar, said Kali Prasad, a native of Badghar. Although the leader system is very old in Tharu society, it is still going on. Apart from the Badghar leader, the priest who performs the puja, Kulopani Chaudhary, iron beater, chowkidar, surahwa, dhami, bridegroom, bride bearer and wedding feast etc. are selected.
Because January 1st is the new year and holy month of the Tharu community, people's representatives are elected on the basis of faith. The main person of the people's representative who is elected in the village is called the leader. Badghar cooperates with the people's elected representatives and solves the disputes of the village and the house in accordance with the prevailing law. Badghar was very important in panchayat system. At that time, 68-year-old Fakla Tharu of Barbardia-2 said that Panch, including the king, ministers and employees, consulted Badghar.
