Sirutar is a town and is situated in ward 1 of Suryabinayak Municipality in Bhaktapur District in Province no 3 of central Nepal.

[3] The name "Sirutar" came from two names in Nepali – "Siru" meaning a kind of plants with hard stem that grow in dry lands and "tar" meaning a dry land that is suitable for the growth of plants like Siru.

An anecdote supports this naming: long time back, this place had thick human settlement compared with the neighboring villages; the lands were also fertile that gave good amount of crops.

Later, the people from this place started migrating for some sudden reasons and the fertility of the lands also diminished.

[3] Majority of the population in this VDC are Hindu; there are temples of Mahadev, Bhairav, Ganesh, Saraswati, Balkumari, and Devi.
