Tansen from SHREENAGAR    
Tansen, the headquarters of Palpa district in Western Nepal is situated at a height of 1372 m. on the warm serene lap of the Shreenagar hill. The small but beautiful town Tansen is said to have been named after Tamra Sen of the Sen Dynasty who ruled the then city state. There is also another view regarding the name of Tansen. It is said that town takes its name from the Magar word "Tansing" meaning the northern settlement. The Newars from the Kathmandu valley migrated to Tansen for the sake of business and other purposes and flourished their social, economic, religious culture and traditions and way of life here, as a result, the town has remarkably duplicated Kathmandu. That's why it's often called another Kathmandu, away from Kathmandu.
