By Hindus it is called Halesi. It gave the village its name. By Tibetan Buddhists it is called Maratika.
The myth said sometimes Lord Shiva and Parbati would leave the cave disguised as Kiranti children and
play in the forest or down by the banks of the Sun Khoshi and Dhudh Khoshi rivers, two major rivers which flow on both sides of Halesi region down from the mountainous north.
