Although primarily known for its royal and strategic importance, the area has cultural ties with the Tharu community, an indigenous group native to the Terai region. The palace's architecture reflects Nepalese style, and its location offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes, making it an important site for historical, cultural, and tourism interests.
