At the 2015 Nepal census, it had a population of 153,875 people.[2] The city's population grew to 193,576 in 2021.[3]
History
It is believed[by whom?] that Hetauda got its name from Hidimba, a demonic queen who ended up marrying Bhimsen as per a story in Mahabharat. The fact that there is a place called Bhimphedi just as the plains of Hetauda meets the mountains can be considered a manifestation of this belief. During the Rana regime in Nepal, there was a history of cars being carried by porters to Kathmandu through Bhimphedi.[4]
