Ghansikuwa is a famous tourist destination[ citation needed ] in Tanahu District in the Gandaki Zone of Gandaki Province, Nepal. [1] It is famous for a pond constructed by Ghansi, a local who worked as grass cutter. Bhanubhakta was inspired by the activity of the Ghanshi, so he has noticeably mentioned him in his creations.
