Arjundhara is the name of a temple that is situated in south-eastern part of Nepal.

It is 6 km north from the business centre Birtamode, Previously it used to be in Arjundhara VDC ward no.

The Kauravas suspected where they stayed, and so they stole all the cows that belonged to Virata so as to compel the Pandavas to reveal their identity.

The Pandavas set out in search of the cows, which they are regionally regarded to have found in the place which is now called 'Garuva'.

According to local tradition, a female ascetic named Khadebaba is said to have discovered this place and its significance.
