Gurung communities comprise the major inhabitants of the village. The village is home to Shree Meshrom Baraha Secondary School, a government school which provides education to children aged 5–18. Local attractions include the Gurung Cultural Museum and Meshram Baraha temple.[2] During festivals, locals celebrate with music, dance, and rituals that makes a blend of animist beliefs with Buddhist and Hindu traditions.[3]
