History

Dumraha VDC is historic in the sense that the ethnic groups of Tharu, Musahar, and Dom have been living there for several generations. The name Dumraha may have been named because of the Dom community people living there, as Dumraha can be linguistically broken as "DUM- RAHA" where "DUM" refers to Dom Community, and "RAHA" in Maithali or Tharu language means "staying". So, Dumraha could have been named as "Dom Community People were living there in the past."

Ethnic groups

In the past, people from Tharu, Dhanuk, Muhasar and Dom communities were living there. But after 2007 due to migration of people from the hilly region and later of people from India, the chief ethnic groups are Brahmin, Chhetri, Tharu, Mehata, Newar, Rai, Limbu, Dom, Dhanuk, Musahar etc.
